Before you apply

General entry requirements

Exact requirements vary by programme — check the specific diploma page for details. In general, KSC looks for:

KCSE mean grade C- or equivalent

Most diploma programmes require this as a baseline, with subject-specific grades for some departments (e.g. Mathematics and Physics for Engineering).

Advanced entry pathways

Certificate holders in a related field can often apply for advanced entry directly into a diploma's second year.

Mature entry

Applicants 25 and older without standard qualifications are considered on a case-by-case basis, based on relevant experience.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Most applicants hear back within 10 working days. If your application needs more information, we'll reach out by email or phone directly.

Yes — submit a separate application for each programme you're interested in. Admissions can also help you compare programmes before you decide.

Possibly. Mature entry and advanced entry pathways exist for applicants without standard qualifications. Mention your background in the form's notes field and admissions will advise.

Submitting this form is free. Programme fees are disclosed in full before you're asked to confirm your place — there are no hidden costs at any stage.

Nothing changes for you. Your place, your certificate, and your terms of study carry over automatically — see the transition notice for full detail.
