Kenyatta University established the Nakuru Campus in 2009 in line with the University’s Strategic Plan. It is located in the central business district of Nakuru City, Kijabe row within KU Plaza next to the main Nakuru /Eldoret highway. In May 2023 the Campus was accredited by TVETA to offer various Diploma Courses and thus transitioned to Kenyatta University Nakuru Campus and TVET Centre. This development was in response to a growing demand for the TVET Courses and the need to provide Kenyatta University’s superior brand to the clientele within Nakuru County and its environs.

The Centre is easily accessible, visible and offers an ideal learning environment. It has executive lecture rooms, computer labs, and a well-stocked library among other facilities to provide a quality and serene learning environment for all students. The University continues to provide various courses to the residents of the Rift region mainly in Nakuru and its surroundings, targeting high school graduates and students from other Institutions who are attracted to Kenyatta University uniqueness in terms of Quality Assurance.

The Campus offers Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes under the Digital School and Continuous Education Programme. In addition, the centre offers TVET approved diploma & certificate courses and also ICT short courses for basic digital literacy and advanced ICT certifications.
