BS Financial Economics BS Finance Bsc. Infomatics Bsc. Telecommunications And now they have LLB! How much is fees at strath? 300k average per year for undergraduate.. 1M for MBA... A degree from the LSE is around 4100 Pounds add around 9k for local invigilation per paper around 108,000 am home and dry with a degree in Economics and Finance from one of the best business school,s in the world...flexible reading hours,exams once per year...anyway thats just me...Strath is an excellent school also... Kweli? weka rink! hiyo inakaa kidogo sana siamini... www.londoninternational....se/bsc-economics-finance I personally know someone doing this @Wendz Although the school is abbreviated as LSE, it is not the famous LSE. The "LSE' offers degree issued by University of London while LSE issues its own. This is a different school hence the 'unbelievable' fees. I think this is where Jomo studied and Nyokabi the Nyeri Women Rep. 'LSE' is a very good school though. Whatever your smoking please stop,University of London is the main university,LSE is just a constituent college same as King,s college where most Law based degrees and post graduate studies are offered... possunt quia posse videntur

Rank: Elder Joined: 5/1/2010 Posts: 3,024 Location: Hapa		C&P: A public university has lost more than Sh100 million in fees fraud involving students and admission officers. At least 565 students and an unknown number of staff have so far been implicated in on-going investigations at Moi University in Eldoret, the Nation has established. In the racket, the officers enrol and issue registration numbers to privately-sponsored students under regular or so-called “mature” programmes that pay less fees. Normally, a self-sponsored student pays Sh120,000 per year while regular ones pay a subsidised amount of Sh30,000. However, through the fraudulent registration, the privately-sponsored students, commonly referred to as PSSP or parallel students, end up paying as little as the government-sponsored ones. This means that the university has been losing close to Sh90,000 per student. RINK Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. - Muhammad Ali🐝

The Standard has learnt that an attempt by the church-sponsored institution to have the students graduate with degrees different from those they studied for backfired two weeks ago after the move was rejected by university senate and the Commission for University Education (CUE).

I find the web metric ranks quite useless although they seem to be the only available ranking systems that is regular. To make it worse they are done by someone sitting on a computer thousands of miles away using information on a website. Here are the things I would use to rank a University (not in any specific order) 1. Quality of students admitted (I wonder where strathmore sits on that) 2. Qualifications of teaching staff 3. Research output of the staff (Quality and not quantity) 4. Impact on society and contribution to policy making 5. Relevance of curriculum among others My bet is no single uni in Kenya will top all the above all the time, some unis are stronger in some fields than the rest our goals are best achieved indirectly

Rank: Elder Joined: 2/26/2012 Posts: 15,980		Executive masters degree - Cancelled until further notice. Universities offering executive master courses must prove they meet the standards within six months. Universities have also been directed to recall honorary degrees which violated standards, as well as degrees that fraudulently awarded. The audit established that executive degrees had been abused so much that one university had gone the whole hog and started an executive bachelor’s degree. The audit also revealed that the quality of courses offered by many universities over the school holidays was wanting. “They do not afford adequate contact time between the learners and their lecturers. They do not give learners sufficient exposure to quality degree research, library time and interaction between the learners themselves,” added the report. http://www.nation.co.ke/...r/1056-3816436-1372gdoz/ "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.
