Mentored by Kenya's Oldest University

Founded in 1956, the University of Nairobi is Kenya's first national university. With 53,787 students (2025/2026), ten faculties, 67 teaching departments, and over 10 institutes and research centres, it is ranked top in Kenya and 17th in Africa (QS World University Rankings).

Guided by its vision of being "a Globally Competitive University, Transforming Society," UoN has nurtured institutions from humble beginnings into full universities, including Kenyatta University, the University of Embu, the Technical University of Kenya, and Machakos University. It currently also mentors Nyandarua University College and Koitalel Samoei University College.

Kapenguria University College inherits this proven track record, standards, and academic strength from day one.
