UoN: Kenya’s Top University in Global Rankings
The University of Nairobi is the only Kenyan institution to rank among the top 2,000 universities worldwide.
Monday’s release of the 2023 ranking edition by the Center for World University Rankings (CWUR) ranked UoN 1,425th on the list and as the top institution of higher education in Kenya.
CWUR added that UoN’s employability ranking was 1,610, which was based on the professional success of its alumni, including the number of top positions they have held at major companies relative to the university’s size (25%).
However, UoN’s ranking has declined since the CWUR 2022 edition, which placed it at the 1,404th spot.
South Africa also made the list with 12 universities, with the University of Cape Town ranking highest at number 267.
