UWS & Kenya
We are delighted to welcome a growing number of students from Kenya to study with us in our Scottish and London Campuses. Currently our Kenyan students study across a number of Business programmes, including MBA.
With an extensive catalogue of undergraduate, postgraduate and research programmes designed to meet the demands of research and industry, the University continues to offer a wide range of opportunities to Kenyan applicants.
We recently launched our Centre for African Research on Enterprise and Economic Development (CAREED), with one of our academics, Professor John Struthers, as the Director. CAREED has a unique emphasis on enterprise and economic development, especially given Africa’s strong recent and on-going development.
Kenyan Community at UWS
There is an established community of Kenyan students at UWS who play an active role in many of the University’s social societies and sports clubs. This means that as a student at UWS, you will have the opportunity to meet people from your home country as well as making new friends from Scotland and other parts of the world.
