Institute of Postgraduate Studies and Research

Kairuki University (KU), through the Institute of Postgraduate Studies and Research, has a principal goal of providing high quality postgraduate training and carrying out relevant research. In addition, the institute aims at offering excellent professional services to meet the changing needs of our society. Bearing this in mind, the post graduate curriculum has been reviewed to meet the challenges and demands of a constantly evolving environment and society. Mindful that the changes in the curriculum need to be supported by a tight rein on quality, the University has taken measures to maintain and improve the teaching standards. Postgraduate courses offered after the review closely correspond to public demand.
The purpose and aim of postgraduate training at the KU, therefore, is to offer higher and specialized medical education and learning experiences to produce competent practitioners and role models in clinical practice, administration, teaching, and health research. The creation of a conducive environment for enhancement of the culture of research and publication is a critical step in the evolution of KU during the formative years.
