Tom Mboya University – University in Homa Bay

Tom Mboya University is a public university in Homa Bay County, on the shores of Lake Victoria in the Nyanza region. Named after the independence-era statesman Tom Mboya, it began as a constituent college of Maseno University and was later chartered as a full university to expand access to higher education in the region.

The university offers certificate, diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate courses through schools of education, business and economics, agriculture and natural resources, science and technology, and humanities and social sciences. Its motto speaks of knowledge for sustainable innovation and enterprise, and it is building research links with local communities on fisheries, farming and enterprise around the lake.

Students join through KUCCPS placement or as self-sponsored applicants. The campus is close to Homa Bay town, with access to the town's services and the lakeside. Programmes, intakes and the student portal are on the Tom Mboya University website.
