According to a new report by UniRank, the University of Nairobi (UoN) has been ranked the best university in Kenya.

Kenyatta University, Strathmore University, USIU, JKUAT, Egerton University, and Mount Kenya University closely followed UoN.

Others are Moi University, the Technical University of Kenya, the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, and Kenya Methodist University.

UniRank is an international higher education directory and search engine that aims to provide a non-academic league table of the top Kenyan universities based on valid, unbiased, and non-influenceable web metrics provided by independent web intelligence sources rather than data submitted by the universities.

Ranking criteria include a university licensed or accredited by an appropriate Kenyan higher education-related organisation.

Others are offering at least three-year bachelor’s degrees or postgraduate master’s or doctoral degrees and delivering predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format.

The least-ranked universities in Kenya are Kenya Highlands University, KAG East University, and Lukenya University.

Others are Pioneer International University, Uzima University, and RAF International University.
