KCA University Sends Off Over 3,000 Graduates Ready to Shape the Future

At KCA University, we reaffirmed our position as one of Kenya’s fastest-growing hubs of academic excellence and industry-ready graduates during our 19th Graduation Ceremony, where 3,286 graduates were conferred with degrees, diplomas, and certificates across our four schools. Held on 28 November 2025 under the theme “Innovate, Elevate, Impact,” the ceremony brought together scholars, families, friends, and industry partners in a vibrant celebration of achievement and possibility.

Our graduating class reflected the breadth and relevance of our programmes, with 1,213 graduates from the School of Business, 1,032 from the Professional & Technical Training Institute (PTTI), 750 from the School of Technology, and 291 from the School of Education, Arts & Social Sciences. This diverse mix of business, technical, technological, and social sciences graduates showcases our commitment to nurturing well-rounded professionals equipped to drive Kenya’s socio-economic transformation.
Speaking during the event, our Vice Chancellor and CEO, Prof. Isaiah I.C. Wakindiki, celebrated the resilience and innovative spirit of the Class of 2025, noting that they embody the mindset required to lead industries and impact communities in an increasingly dynamic world.

These sentiments were echoed by our Chancellor, FCPA Dr. Martin Oduor Otieno, CBS, who encouraged the graduates to be bold in shaping the future, reminding them that “Innovation begins with a curious mind and a willingness to solve real problems. As you elevate professionally, remember to uplift others and make a meaningful impact wherever you go. Kenya and the world need leaders of integrity and purpose, and today, we proudly release such leaders.”

The ceremony also cemented our expanding global footprint, with representation from over 20 nationalities across East, West, and Southern Africa, adding to the rich multicultural fabric that has long been a defining feature of our institution. This aligns with our journey from a CPA training centre founded in 1989 to a modern, globally competitive university shaping innovators, leaders, and entrepreneurs.
As we welcome prospective students for the January 2026 intake, we continue to distinguish ourselves through our market-driven programmes spanning Certificates, Diplomas, Bachelor’s Degrees, and Postgraduate studies in Business, Technology, Education, Arts, and Social Sciences, alongside highly sought-after professional and technical courses offered through PTTI. We remain committed to affordability and flexibility, offering competitive tuition fees, flexible payment options, evening and weekend classes, and online learning pathways that accommodate both working professionals and young learners.

Beyond academics, we pride ourselves on an environment that promotes inclusivity, innovation, and global citizenship. Our student community benefits from an accessible learning ecosystem, including technology-enabled classrooms, support services for students living with disabilities, and a vibrant campus culture that encourages leadership, creativity, and community engagement.
These values were evident during the 19th Graduation Ceremony, where inclusivity, diversity, and applied research were highlighted as core strengths that define the KCA University student experience.

The spirit of innovation continues to thrive through our annual Innovation Week, one of our flagship events that brings together students, researchers, startups, industry leaders, and global partners. This platform fosters collaboration and accelerates solutions tailored for Africa’s development needs. In 2026, Innovation Week promises an even larger exhibition of student-driven prototypes, tech pitches, and industry dialogues that reflect our position at the intersection of education, technology, and enterprise.

Throughout the academic year, our students also benefit from a rich calendar of activities, including sports tournaments, cultural events, entrepreneurship forums, career fairs, and research showcases. These interactive experiences shape holistic graduates who are not only academically competent but also confident, collaborative, and ready to thrive in diverse professional environments.
