The University of Nairobi (UoN) is the best university in Kenya, according to a new report by uniRank, an international higher education directory and search engine.
UoN was closely followed by Kenyatta University, Strathmore University, USIU, JKUAT, Egerton University and Mount Kenya University.
Others include Moi University, Technical University of Kenya, Catholic University of Eastern Africa and Kenya Methodist University.
uniRank aims to provide a non-academic ranking of Kenya’s top universities based on valid, unbiased and uninfluenced web metrics provided by independent web intelligence sources, rather than data provided by the universities themselves.
Ranking criteria include a university being licensed or accredited by a relevant Kenyan higher education organisation.
Other criteria include offering at least a three-year bachelor’s degree or postgraduate master’s or doctoral degree, and teaching predominantly in a traditional, non-distance format.
The lowest ranked universities in Kenya are Kenya Highlands University, KAG East University and Lukenya University.
Others are Pioneer International University, Uzima University and RAF International University.
