The Technical University of Kenya (TU-K) is excited to announce the re-introduction of two admission intakes per calendar year after a 10-year hiatus, following a Senate resolution passed on Tuesday, 21st January 2025.

The Technical University of Kenya has partnered with the University of Arts, Berlin, Club of Engineers and Friends, Berlin, together with Wajukuu Arts Collective Studio, to offer hands-on short courses to youths in Lungalunga, an informal settlement in Nairobi. The initiative is part of the University’s outreach programme that will see underprivileged youths benefit from entrepreneurship skillset training, scholarship opportunities and exchange programmes in Kenya and German.

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof Benedict Mutua, on Friday 20^th December 2024, held a six-hour consultative meeting with the members of staff in the Main Hall.

This was the first time the VC was meeting the general staff since he assumed office in September 2023. The event brought together all cadres of staff who were given an opportunity to air their grievances and suggested the possible solutions. “It was not my intention not to meet you soon after I assumed office. There was a lot that was going on. I wanted to first understand and attempt to resolve issues and fully understand the institution before holding any meaningful meeting with you,” explained Prof Mutua.

The Technical University of Kenya (TU-K) in conjunction with the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU), through the Supporting Researcher Communities Training Grant, will be conducting a 3-day online training on presentation skills and research data management. The training targets post- graduate students in ACU member universities.

The training will take place on 14^th to 16^th January 2025.

Students pursuing disciplines in Chemistry, Material Science and Chemical Engineering at TU-K, have an opportunity to join Jiangsu Horizon New Energy Technology Co. Ltd, China as interns for a period lasting between 12 and 24 weeks.

Applicants will be considered to begin the internship in March 2025. The deadline for nominations is 31^st January 2025.
