Why Zetech should be your top choice for quality, globally-oriented university education

As the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) concludes its placement of students into universities and colleges across the country, hundreds of young Kenyans are preparing to take the next step in their academic journeys. Among the institutions receiving new cohorts of learners is Zetech University, a chartered institution that has steadily risen in popularity due to its dynamic curriculum, industry partnerships, and commitment to innovation.

For students and applicants who missed the initial placement or wish to change to join Zetech University, the KUCCPS will soon announce an inter-university transfer window, offering an opportunity to reconsider their options. In this crucial decision-making period, Zetech University stands out as your preferred and trusted partner as you embark on your career development journey.

Zetech University offers a broad array of undergraduate degree programmes that cater for the evolving needs of the job market. These include technology-driven courses such as Information Technology, Computer Science, Software Engineering, and Data Science and Analytics.

Students interested in communication, international affairs, and the humanities can pursue degrees in Journalism, Media and Digital Communication, International Relations and Diplomacy, Psychology, and Hospitality and Tourism Management.

The university also trains professionals in Business Administration and Management, Commerce, Accounting and Finance, Purchasing and Supply Chain Management. 

Additionally, Zetech University’s highly sought-after Bachelor of Education (Arts) and Bachelor of Education (Science) programmes continue to attract aspiring teachers who want to make a difference in Kenya and the global education sector. 

Crucially, Zetech University offers a professional programme in Nursing, which is fully accredited by the Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK). Their Bachelor of Laws programme has been approved by the Commission for University Education (CUE) and is currently awaiting final accreditation from the Council of Legal Education (CLE). All other degree programmes are approved by the CUE, affirming the university’s commitment to delivering high-quality, recognised qualifications.

Beyond academics, Zetech University places strong emphasis on connecting students with the world of work. Through its Office of Career Services and a robust alumni network, the university maintains close ties with industry leaders who regularly engage with students through mentorship, talks, and recruitment events. These engagements often translate into internships and job placements, giving students a head-start in their careers.

The university also supports student entrepreneurship through its ZePreneurs programme, which provides funding, mentorship, and other support to students running businesses while pursuing their studies.

Zetech University’s outlook is distinctly global. The university has increasingly integrated international faculty into its academic environment and has established student exchange programmes with institutions abroad. A highlight of this commitment is the upcoming educational tour to Bangalore, India – known as the Silicon Valley of Asia – scheduled for September 21-27, 2025. This visit is set to expose students to cutting-edge innovation and global tech ecosystems.

Student life at Zetech University is vibrant and full of opportunity. The institution actively supports innovation, problem-solving skills and talent development through the Zetech University Innovation Hub, known as iZET Hub. Here, students receive mentorship and support to develop and showcase their projects. Notably, Zetech University was recently the only Kenyan university selected to participate in the Pan-African Robotics Challenge in Dakar, Senegal, a prestigious event that showcases technological innovation across the continent.

In the world of sports, Zetech University continues to make a name for itself nationally and internationally. Students have represented Kenya in a wide range of disciplines – from football and volleyball to tennis, chess, athletics, and even e-sports such as PlayStation competitions. These achievements speak to the university’s holistic approach to student development.

Facilities at Zetech University are designed to match global standards. Students benefit from access to well-equipped libraries, ICT and STEM laboratories, a fully functional nursing skills lab, a Moot Court for law students, a professional media studio and editing suite, a hospitality kitchen and laundromat, and scenic green study areas that create a conducive learning environment.

Prospective students have the convenience of walking into the university’s campuses to receive personalised guidance and apply for a course of their choice on the spot. On top of its already affordable and flexible fee payment plans, students admitted to Zetech University are eligible to apply for the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) loan, making quality education even more accessible.

Zetech University is currently accepting applications for the September 2025 intake. Students are encouraged to apply via sajili.zetech.ac.ke and take the next step towards a future defined by innovation, excellence and global exposure.

As the higher education landscape evolves, Zetech University continues to demonstrate that it is more than just a place to earn a degree. It is a launch-pad for careers, ideas, and lifelong impact.
