University of Nairobi
speciality: Environmental Sciences

The University a
Has both local and international students making it easy to network compared to other universities in Kenya.The education is quality, well organised and located within the capital city.

The university has an excellent reputation in country and region. What I liked about it was the availability of learning materials for every unit course and supportive staff. I do however think that alot of investment ought to done in undergraduate and postgraduate research programs

Overall, my time at the University of Nairobi was an enriching experience, though there were areas I think could be improved. The faculty is knowledgeable, with professors who are passionate about their subjects. The field trips, like the one to Voi, were particularly valuable for hands-on learning. However, the academic environment could be more engaging and interactive in certain courses.

One thing that stood out was the diversity of the student body and the opportunities for networking. The university has a strong presence in Nairobi and offers numerous events for students to get involved in beyond just academics, like Eco Advocacy, which I joined. It’s a good place for anyone interested in environmental studies.

What I liked most was the emphasis on applied learning through field research projects. However, the program could benefit from more up-to-date resources, especially in areas like remote sensing and GIS.

Overall, I would recommend the University of Nairobi for students passionate about environmental conservation, but I’d advise future students to take full advantage of the extracurricular opportunities and seek internships early on for practical experience.

I highly recommend the University of Nairobi, to anyone looking for a University that offers Inclusivity regardless of age and gender. Equal opportunities are awarded to anyone with the drive to seize the numerous opportunities available.

It offers a well-taught meteorology course that is not only open to Kenyan students but also to international. The professors and lecturers are very friendly and helpful during the entire learning period. I like the cool and serene learning environment that the University offers in the leafy suburbs of Nairobi city. More work on student hostels should be done so as to increase the lively and unique experience on campus. Would like to recommend this university to everyone who loves a quiet learning environment.
