Student portal, fees and contacts
MKU states that it transitioned to fully online applications in 2025. Applicants create an account using an email and phone number, complete the application, upload academic documents and await review. The MKU digital ecosystem links the student portal with the virtual learning management system and online examination platform. The university lists admissions@mku.ac.ke and its Thika postal address, P.O. Box 342-01000, for enquiries.
How to check the latest intake and fees
Look for the newest academic calendar, programme page, intake advertisement and fee schedule on the institution’s official website. Fee estimates from older articles can be misleading. Contact the institution directly for registration or portal assistance.
Editorial update: October 2026. This directory listing has been revised to emphasise institution-published information. Previously listed programmes are not necessarily currently available; always check the official admissions notice.
