Student review [#91808] for Counselling Psychology
at Mount Kenya University - MKU

One of the things I appreciate most about my university is how genuinely hands-on and supportive the lecturers are. It never feels like you’re just another student in a crowded room—they make the effort to engage with you, challenge you, and ensure you’re really understanding the material. There’s a strong sense that everyone—faculty and peers alike—is working together toward academic success.

What stands out even more is the design of the curriculum itself. It’s structured with the intention for every student to thrive, not just get by. The balance between continuous assessment tests (which account for 30%) and final exams (70%) works well for me. The pacing is thoughtful—giving enough time between assessments to actually study, reflect, and improve. I especially value how the continuous assessments are less about simply passing and more about tracking genuine academic growth.

Student life, too, is designed to be accommodating and inclusive. Accessing facilities is refreshingly straightforward—once you have your student ID and biometric access, everything from libraries to labs is available without unnecessary hurdles. It creates a fair and equal starting point for every student to take advantage of what’s offered and make the most of their time at university.

Overall, it’s a place that doesn’t just talk about student success—it actively makes it possible.
