The University of Nairobi Senate has approved a framework to guide collaboration agreements on dual and joint degrees.

The dual and joint degree programmes are a form of higher education qualifications that are rapidly gaining traction worldwide in institutions of higher learning. Benefits to the respective institutions and students include providing local students with international exposure, enhancing quality for collaborating institutions, and offering opportunities to build strong academic and institutional research partnerships.

On July 4, 1970, a boy and a girl entered the gates of the University of Nairobi hungry for knowledge. On July 4, 2020 exactly 50 years later the boy and the girl returned to their alma mater from where they once drank from the Fountain of Knowledge.

The University of Nairobi in partnership with China Communications and Construction Company, (CCCC) could soon set up an Engineering Research and Development Laboratory (R&D Lab). CCCC is the parent company which owns China Road and Bridge Company (CRBC), which is famous for the construction of mega structures in Kenya including the SGR.

This was revealed during a meeting between the University of Nairobi Vice Chancellor, Prof. Stephen Kiama and CCCC General Manager Mr. Li Changgui.
