The University has been welcoming students from Kenya since 1942. We currently have students from Kenya studying at both undergraduate and postgraduate level at the University.
The University of Glasgow has developed strong ties to Kenya. Of particular note is the development of medical and veterinary schools in Kenya. In 1965 the Glasgow-Nairobi link was established which provided clinical teaching at the main government hospital in Nairobi; by 1967 42 members of University staff had been on secondment in Nairobi. From the late 1950s staff from the University veterinary school worked in conjunction with the University of East Africa, Nairobi, to upgrade the skills of a group of African students to world class standards in veterinary medicine and surgery.

Entry requirements
Undergraduate
The University will accept school leavers with KCSE at a B+ average directly in to 1st year without the need for a foundation programme (exceptions include medicine, law, dentistry, veterinary medicine). In addition we will also consider students who have completed a recognised foundation or access programme.
We also accept International Baccalaureate (IB) and A-Levels. For subject-specific entry requirements please refer to our undergraduate pages.
If you do not have KCSE at B+ average you can still apply to our foundation programme at Glasgow International College (you must have at least a C average).
Postgraduate Taught
We will consider applications to Masters programmes from graduates of national quality Kenyan universities who are 1st class or upper second class degree holders. We will also consider those with second lower class with a GPA of 3.0 or above in exceptional circumstances. Please be aware that in addition to your overall degree qualification it is likely that we will also look at your course content to ensure that you have covered the required modules in your first degree.
