Technical University of Mombasa - TUM (reviews)

The university is friendly oriented school whereby student are free to interact to interact to each other regardless of their ethnic groups and religion and thus why would recommend any pupil from kenya to give it a try and he/she will not regret the decision they made in choosing TUM.

TUM is an institution that makes you think outside the box. It provides a culture shock experience that opens ones mind to appreciate the preservation of ones culture to the different technical solving problems available from each and every individual within its boundaries. It has been a all hands on deck approach with my fellow classmates with the lectures. I would recommend TUM to those who would like to pursue engineering fields as it is the core of the school.

This is one of the best university in the Coastal Kenya. It has the best services, best buildings, best location. The shops around offer the best services too according to ones needs. There are hotels around the university which sell amazing foods.

The programme I am taking is generally good but I feel that more should be done in terms of delivering content to students. Lectures are not as detailed and one is forced to lots of research to understand a much rather simple context.
And also one more thing the environment around the institution is not the best. Students struggle with getting accomodation.

During my study at the Technical University of Mombasa first I would like to say that the social life of Mombasa is more welcoming and the people/students in Mombasa are kind and loving, I learnt that they are more friendly and caring more than in other cities in Kenya.

One thing I have come to learn is that it’s a bit slow compared to other places around Kenya, but still, things keep moving. There are different religions the Muslims and Christians in the majority but they live very peacefully.

Just a few things to work on and improve is the sports sector, which on the other hand I felt like the hot weather of the coastal makes people there not have the energy to participate in sports more due to high dehydration.

Security-wise it’s maximum the university is closer to the Mombasa city and the Indian Ocean, 10 mins drive to the famous FORT JESUS in the old town and the MAMA NGINA drive where you get to see ships docking at the MOMBASA PORT

Programmes are well organised
Professors are committed
Improvement should be mainly on infrastructures and education policy to better studies of students.
Introduction of more field work especially for the tourism students to gain more practical skills

The institution is awesome, with ambitious teachers and good environs, the program I pursued was well brought in, and the school meets international gear lines. It’s the personal effort that will make you climb higher plus the teacher’s efforts.

Nothing much. The school is not equipped to operate at a university level. Especially for technical courses. Not enough exposure to practical experience and there’s not enough partnership with other institutions.
