Zetech University | Inventing the Future. The top best university of higher learning in Kenya

From a hostel room an idea of training ICT skills is conceptualised and started. From a few college mates the idea grows to become a class that can no longer fit in the hostel space. This idea is registered to operate as Zenith Technology (Zenith means at the very top) and the institution moves to Nairobi CBD.

Zenith Technology evolves and becomes Zetech College (Zenith + Technology) offering a wide range of Certificate and Diploma programs and later embarks on a 15-year strategic growth blueprint of becoming a leading university in Technology.

In pursuit of its vision of becoming a leading University, the college entered into a collaboration with Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) to offer their degree programs as part of a mentorship program.

In line with its blueprint Zetech developed the Ruiru Campus and on 24th August 2014 received a Letter of Interim Authority (LIA) from the Commission for University Education giving it authority to operate as a University. Our flagship programs were Bachelor of Information Technology, Bachelor of Business Information Technology and Bachelor of Business Administration and Management.
The University also launched a Sports Scholarship Fund which targets needy and talented students. This fund has seen many students enjoy a bespoke opportunity of pursuing their dream careers while still pursuing their talents in various sports.

The Ruiru Campus Complex was officially opened by H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta on 21st August 2015. The Complex comprises a multipurpose state-of-the-art facility hosting tuition areas, academic and administrative offices.
