Tuition
- No AMIU fee figures could be verified — contact amiuadmissions@amref.ac.ke or +254 794 377 643. Two questions are worth asking that are specific to this institution. First, whether Amref Health Africa or its donors fund student places: AMIU's parent is a donor-funded health development organisation, and a development-funded scholarship route would be unusual and could change the cost picture entirely. Second, its exact accreditation status — AMIU appeared on the Commission for University Education's accredited list in November 2017, but whether it holds a FULL CHARTER or operates under a Letter of Interim Authority was not established, and the distinction matters. As a private university it would access HELB loans only, not Universities Fund scholarships; confirm it is on the current HELB list. Health sciences sit toward the upper end of Kenyan private university fees, which run roughly KSh 100,000 to over 600,000 a year.
Admissions
- For any health qualification, ask which PROFESSIONAL COUNCIL recognises the specific programme — Nursing Council of Kenya, Clinical Officers Council, Public Health Officers and Technicians Council, depending on the course. None were confirmed here, and council recognition is what determines whether you can practise.
- Confirm whether AMIU holds a full charter or a Letter of Interim Authority.
- The national minimum for degree entry is a KCSE mean grade of C+; Kenyan health science programmes typically require specific science subject grades. AMIU's own thresholds were not published.
- Ask for the current programme list directly: AMIU's catalogue was not published in retrievable form, and as a specialist institution the programme list is the whole basis for choosing it.
- Accepts international applicants
