The Commission for University Education has approved three more programmes by Zetech University. Zetech University Vice Chancellor, Prof Njenga Munene announced on July 26 that the institution is now accredited to offer a PhD in Computer Science and MSc in Computer Science and IT.
“We are delighted to inform the public that CUE has finally approved our request to begin training PhD in Computer Science and MSc Computer Science and IT. Our areas of specialty will lie in new emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, AI, Blockchain technology, Software Engineering, Cloud Computing, Cyber Security, Software Development, Machine Learning, and Internet of Things, IoT,” said Prof. Munene.
Zetech University strives to offer holistic education that is specially slanted toward the development of research and innovation in a changing education environment responding to emerging labor market needs.
This is after the recent sanction by CUE for Zetech to offer a Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration & Management. The Ph.D. in BAM is designed to produce graduates who will turn out to be innovative problem solvers and change agents in both academic and practical business fields.
Located in Witeithie, Juja Sub-county, Kiambu County, Zetech University is fast becoming the Information Technology and Business programmes hub. It also enjoys strong market linkages with industry players like Microsoft Africa Development Centre and the Kenya National Chamber of Commerce and Investment.
Chaired by Prof. Munene, he enforces that universities should focus on impactful skills and not just filling students in their institutions. “Our focus has been impacting skills for self-reliance. You may recall that CUE approved ten undergraduate programs for us in 2022, which include degrees in Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Journalism, Actuarial Science, Computer Science, Applied Physics, Media and Digital Communication, and Software Engineering. We will continue to keep up with the pace of market dynamics,” he said.
