Kenya - academic equivalencies
Undergraduate
Normally, Kenyan students complete A-levels which meet the usual A-level entry requirements asked of UK students.
Those students who have taken the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE), however, are required to take and successfully complete an international foundation year or equivalent.
Postgraduate
We require applicants to hold either a good bachelor degree or a master’s degree from a Kenyan university.
