Mount Kenya University to Open Meru Campus

Mt Kenya University is set to open its Meru campus in August with the first classes scheduled to start in September. Speaking to the Star over the phone, the Nairobi Campus principal Prof Kimathi Kigatiira said the institution bought a building in Makutano shopping centre which is being partitioned.

"The university is currently branding the building which is opposite the Royal Prince restaurant in Makutano. Once the partitioning is complete, we will admit new students," said Kimathi.

He said the university is likely to transfer most of its courses that have been undertaken at the Nkubu Campus to the new Meru Campus and more students will transfer from Nkubu to Meru.

The university is also expected to start training medical doctors next year once its curriculum is approved and key laboratories and equipment for the course are set up.
