Tuition
- No MMU-specific fee figures could be verified, though it appears in a January 2026 listing of Kenyan universities offering courses from as little as KSh 5,000 per semester — which programmes sit at that entry level was not established. Request the current structure from info@mmu.ac.ke or +254 20 7252000. ONE COST QUESTION MATTERS MORE HERE THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THIS DIRECTORY: for media, film and animation programmes, ask exactly what EQUIPMENT the university provides and what students are expected to supply. Cameras, storage, software licences and production costs are the classic hidden expense in creative programmes and tuition figures never capture them. As a public university MMU students access both Universities Fund scholarships and HELB loans; apply at hef.co.ke once KUCCPS places you. KENYAN PUBLIC UNIVERSITY FUNDING: government-sponsored students placed through KUCCPS pay around KES 16,000 a year; the figures shown here are the SELF-SPONSORED rate. That placement decision is close to a tenfold difference and is made by KUCCPS central placement, not by the university. Funding runs through the Higher Education Financing (HEF) model and HELB loans at hef.co.ke. WHO IT SUITS: broadcasting, digital media production, software engineering and telecommunications. MEDIA COUNCIL OF KENYA RECOGNITION IS RECORDED — the professional body for journalists, and it appears nowhere else in this directory. Film production is likewise rare provision.
Admissions
- The national minimum for degree entry is a KCSE mean grade of C+, with programme-specific cluster requirements set by KUCCPS.
- MMU's own entry requirements were not published — contact info@mmu.ac.ke.
- For engineering programmes, ask for written confirmation of Engineers Board of Kenya accreditation, which determines whether you can register as a professional engineer.
- Ask to see the production facilities before committing: for a media university, studios, editing suites, cameras and animation labs are what separate a strong programme from a weak one.
- Accepts international applicants
- Scholarships or financial aid available
