Location

It is specifically located near Kwa Vonza along the Machakos-Kitui Highway and close to the Kitui Campus of Kenyatta University.

Courses

The university is located in a region with some mineral wealth which doesn't receive much rainfall that's why the courses offered concentrate on:

  • Biochemistry and molecular biology
  • Actuarial Sciences
  • Dry land agriculture
  • Energy studies
  • Hydrology
  • Mining
  • Mineral resources
  • Related environmental/scientific areas of study
  • Water studies
  • Information Technology
  • Fisheries Management and Aquaculture Technology
  • Research

    The University is said to be taking a leading role in the making of water purification devices. SEKU has distributed low-cost ceramic water filters to more than 1,000 residents of Kitui and its environs. The move is aimed at improving the socio-economic parameters and health of the locals by having them access clean water. This is because most of this region is semi-arid.
