Technical University of Kenya
The Technical University of Kenya (TU-K) is a public university in Nairobi, Kenya. It is the first technical university in Kenya and was charted in January 2013 by then-president Mwai Kibaki.
==History==
(The Technical University of Kenya ) grew out of the (Kenya Polytechnic ). The Kenya Polytechnic was founded in 1961 and for many years it was the leading institution in Kenya that offered education and training at the tertiary level. The foundations of the Kenya Polytechnic were intricately connected with what today is the University of Nairobi. Proposals for the establishment of a Technical Institute in Nairobi were put forward in the Willoughby Report published in 1949. This led to the creation of the Royal Technical College of East Africa (RTCEA).
The objective in this was to establish a Technical College in Nairobi which would offer education and training at the technician and semi-professional levels for the three East African territories of Kenya, Uganda, and Tanganyika. It was then important that in each of the territories there should be students sufficiently qualified to join RTCEA. While Uganda and Tanganyika established tech¬nical institutes in Kampala and Dar es Salaam to prepare candidates to join RTCEA, Kenya instead opted to introduce appropriate class streams under the name Kenya Technical In¬stitute (KTI) at RTCEA.
By 1960 however, it had been decided that Royal Technical College of East Africa should expand its mandate to offer degrees. Thus in 1960, the RTCEA was granted the mandate to offer degrees of the University of London under a special arrangement. Under this new status, the college had its name changed to the Royal College Nairobi. As the college had its mandate expanded, it was no longer possible to continue accommodating the students of the Kenya Technical Institute due to pressure on space. Consequently, the Kenya Technical Institute needed to be moved to a site of its own. At the same time it was considered that the Diploma programmes should be moved away from RTCEA to Kenya Technical Institute. Consequently, in order to offer as well training at the level of Diploma, the Government established the Kenya Polytechnic out of the Kenya Technical Institute. From its founding, the Kenya Polytechnic quickly established itself as a centre of excellence in the training of middle level manpower in the country. It is located in the Nairobi CBD opposite the Times Tower and along Haile Selassie Avenue next to the City Square Post Office. It is known for offering Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Programmes as well as the Degree Programmes. Among the programmes offered at TU-K are: DipTech, BTech, BPhil, BEng and BSc.
