EDUCATION PARTNER
By partnering with leading Universities in the UK and Kenyan students studying in these Universities, the Kenya Society UK offers the higher education community a unique opportunity. There are many universities in the UK with ties to Kenya, either because they have a student population who have come to the UK from Kenya or because they have research projects and teaching partnerships with Kenyan universities.
With this established connection to Kenya, there is a natural connection with the Kenya Society UK. What the Kenya Society UK offers to institutions is a sharing of our network, Kenyan expertise and knowledge to assist in their efforts to further promote research, coordination and promotion of Kenya, Kenyan students work, Kenyan opportunities and partnerships including with the Kenya High Commission, UK.
Kenya Society UK members are excited to partner with university members to directly impact Kenyan students through mentoring programs – for current students and alumni. Events, both social and academic, are a great way for the Kenya Society UK and universities to partner further. The Kenya Society UK looks forward to welcoming university members and their communities including students and staff.
