It will now cost Sh 3.8 to study medicine at UoN and Sh1 for Law
The University of Nairobi has increased fees for postgraduate courses and parallel degrees by more than double the current amount to ease a cash crunch brought by low student enrolment.
Fees for liberal arts Master’s courses like communication and MBA have jumped to more than Sh600,000 for a two-year programme from an average Sh275,000, reflecting an increase of 118 percent.
Degree courses like commerce, economics and law under the parallel plan have been increased by up to 70 percent to about Sh1 million for the four years.
Students pursuing medicine at UoN will part with Sh3.8 million for the five-year course, up from Sh2.35 million. Law is charging Sh1, 020, 000 from Sh715, 500 while engineering courses will average Sh2.1 million from about Sh1 million.
The two-year MBA course will now cost Sh602,000 from Sh280,000, excluding project fees while MA in Communication fees has increased to Sh655,000, up from Sh273, 000.
The new fees will apply to new students joining the university from this month, marking the first major fees review for postgraduate courses and parallel degrees in nearly two decades.
UoN settled on the easier target of postgraduate and self-sponsored students after undergraduate students under State sponsorship opposed proposals by vice-chancellors to have tuition charges tripled to Sh48,000 annually.
The university is betting the review will lift revenues from fees, which have dropped in recent years and pushed Kenya’s leading public university to a Sh1.4 billion loss in the year to June 2018.

UON long joined universities based on Thika Road in uselessness. Nani hao bado wanapeleka watoto wao wasomee huko? Worse if unajipwleka mwenyewe kusomea huko.
Now, to the elephant in the room; how exactly does a university make a loss? What happens if the envisaged numbers do t enroll? Universities ziwachane na commercial ventures.

UoN still tops Kenya in Medicine, Law, Engineering graduates. Parallel courses ndio zimedilute the education levels in Kenya so I support doubling fees for parallelograms. Evening MBA classes in UoN are a joke, Strathmore will give better quality.
The new guy Kiama seems visionary. First he sent home all those old profs who were past retirement age, juzi I read that he had closed some colleges to streamline operations.

The other day a top KCSE student was complaining how he is interested in doing medicine, has the required grades, but was instead enlisted in a different course.

A lecturer attached in UON told me 80% of students doing medicine are on a parallel program, very few from government sponsorship are given that opportunity.parallel students pay top notch dollar, and with exams resit fee here and there they make good money at the end of the day.
The huge disparity in social class is gradually setting in the education sector.
