Country Guide

Study in the UK from Kenya

Kenya is East Africa's largest source of UK international students, with particular demand for Business, Public Health, IT and Education. Strong Commonwealth ties make the UK a natural progression destination for Kenyan A-Level and KCSE graduates.

Fee Status

Kenyan students pay international fees. The Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) does not cover overseas study, but Chevening and Commonwealth Shared Scholarships are actively available.

Visa Requirements

Kenyan students require a UK Student Route visa. TB testing is required and financial evidence must follow UKVI 28-day rules — AEN guides you through both.
