Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology

Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) is a public university in Juja, Kiambu County, about 36 km north-east of Nairobi on the Nairobi-Thika Highway. It began in 1981 as Jomo Kenyatta College of Agriculture and Technology, set up by the Government of Kenya with support from Japan on land donated by Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, and later grew into a full university.

Today JKUAT is known for engineering, technology and applied science. Its colleges cover health sciences, engineering and technology, pure and applied sciences, agriculture and natural resources, and human resource development, alongside law, built environment and entrepreneurship. It offers certificate, diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, TVET courses and distance learning.

Besides the main campus in Juja, JKUAT runs the Nairobi CBD campus at JKUAT Towers on Kenyatta Avenue, the Karen campus and campuses in Mombasa and Nakuru. Admissions, programmes and online applications are on the JKUAT website.
