Programmes

No AIU fee figures could be verified — contact info@aiu.ac.ke, admissions@aiu.ac.ke or +254 796 352 397. BUT AIU HAS THE CLEAREST COST-CUTTING ROUTE OF ANY INSTITUTION IN THIS DIRECTORY, and it is worth more than any fee comparison: if you already hold a relevant DIPLOMA, credit transfer lets you complete several of its four-year bachelor's degrees in TWO YEARS — roughly halving both the duration and the total cost of your degree. That applies to the BA in Psychology and Counselling, the Bachelor of Business Administration, and the Bachelor of Theology (for Theology Diploma holders). Ask exactly which diplomas qualify and how much credit is granted. AIU also runs pre-university programmes, giving an entry route if you do not yet meet degree requirements. As a private university it accesses HELB loans only, not Universities Fund scholarships. Given its evangelical foundation and pastoral training purpose, church and mission-agency sponsorship is a plausible additional route worth asking about.

The national minimum for degree entry is a KCSE mean grade of C+.
DIPLOMA HOLDERS: credit transfer reduces several four-year bachelor's degrees to two years. A Theology Diploma reduces the Bachelor of Theology to two years. Confirm which diplomas qualify — this is AIU's single most valuable admissions feature.
IF APPLYING FOR THE BACHELOR OF EDUCATION: ask for written confirmation of Teachers Service Commission recognition. Without it you cannot be employed as a teacher in Kenya, whatever the degree says.
Pre-university programmes are available if you do not yet meet degree entry requirements.
