Our comprehensive Orientation Week is designed to introduce you to key aspects of student life, academic expectations, and the vast resources available at TU-K.

The Technical University of Kenya is playing a key role in a Sh.41 Million Geodesy project, a fundamental field in physical sciences, engineering and mapping technology set to be implemented in Africa.

The project is funded by the United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) bringing in collaborating universities and research institutions in South Africa, Tanzania, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda with TU-K as the lead institution. The project lead at Manchester University Dr. Jack Radcliffe recently visited TU-K where he met with the implementing partners in preparation for the launch of the project. He also paid a courtesy call on the Deputy Vice Chancellor Research and Technology Development, Prof. Isaac Orina, to brief him on the project.

Professor Maurice Amutabi is the new Deputy Vice Chancellor, Academic and Student Affairs (DVC-ASA). He takes over from Prof. Paul Shiundu whose term ended in 2023. Prof. Francis Gatheri, the Executive Dean, Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology, has been serving as DVC – ASA on acting capacity. In a memo to the University community, the Chairman of the University Council, Dr. Idle Farah said Prof. Amutabi will serve for a term of five years effective May 1, 2025.

On 12^th April 2025, members of staff and students planted over 1,000 trees at Langata Barracks Secondary School compound. This was in conjunction with staff, students from the school and Kenya Defence Force officers.

The tree growing exercise is part of President Dr. William Ruto’s initiative to plant 15 billion trees by 2030, a move aimed at reducing greenhouse emissions, and reversing deforestation and restoring 5.1 million hectares of deforested and degraded landscapes.

The University has in the past participated in tree growing exercises at Konza Technopolis City and Highway Secondary School, Nairobi.

Chancellor Dr. Jared Kangwana has formally been presented with his Honorary Doctor of Business Administration degree certificate of the Technical University of Kenya.  The formal presentation of the degree certificate by the University Council Chairman, Dr Idle Omar Farah, happened during a breakfast meeting held at the University. Dr. Kangwana was appointed Chancellor, in April 2024 by President, Dr. William Samoei Ruto, to serve for a period of five years. He was conferred with the honorary doctorate, during the 13^th graduation ceremony, held on 26^th November 2024.
