Mount Kenya University – Nairobi Campus

The Nairobi campus of Mount Kenya University opened in 2009 and works from two buildings on Moi Avenue in the city centre: MKU Towers, which holds the reception, admissions, library, lecture rooms and the journalism training studio, and MKU Union Towers, home to campus management, lecture halls and a postgraduate centre. It is a non-residential campus whose students are a mix of working people in evening classes and school leavers starting their first course. Programmes run from certificates and diplomas to degrees and postgraduate study, with business and economics, journalism and public relations among the best-known departments; the journalism department, which added a new studio in 2016, offers two-year diplomas and four-year degrees with majors in broadcast, print, advertising or public relations. The postgraduate centre has seminar rooms, a research library and a video-conferencing room. The university's main campus is in Thika, and its law school is at Parklands.
