Doctor of philosophy in information systems
Part I – When to Join

Intakes are in January, May and September.

Part II – Requirements

The PhD in IS curriculum is designed with technology agility in mind due to the 4th industrial revolution. The curriculum is therefore designed to cultivate an agile mindset in students to enable them to be innovative and creative so as to be able to respond to change in the uncertain and turbulent technological environment that characterizes modern information systems. The courses are designed to foster critical thinking and problem-solving strategies so as to facilitate the acquisition of life-long learning skills that can enable them to identify uncertainties and figure out how to adapt as they go. The curriculum emphasises the application of teaching methods that will equip students with the appropriate research skills, inquisitiveness, and creativity to solve many of the social and technological problems that are faced every day. 

Justification of the need for the programme

As information systems permeate every facet of life, enterprises endeavour to reengineer their business processes to align themselves with the digitization reality in the wake of the 4th industrial revolution (4IR). This phenomenon results in an ever-increasing digital skill gap that calls for continuous retraining of the workforce. This gap can be addressed through formal training by institutions of higher learning or through on-job training using workshops and short courses. It is therefore paramount that institutions of higher learning endeavour to provide curriculums that address the emerging demand for digital skills across all sectors. The dynamic nature of technology calls for a creative and innovative workforce hence the need for a curriculum at the PhD level aimed at training trainers and upscaling information system research skills in the workforce. 

Overall Goal of the Programme 

The aim of the PhD in Information Systems for Digital Transformation curriculum is to produce graduates with the knowledge and skills to conduct information systems research and take on appropriate information system management positions. The curriculum encourages the student to acquire the important skills of self-directed learning, problem-solving and effective communication through technical writing. The graduate is expected to be proficient in a variety of settings, which shall include teaching, and undertaking research activities. Management of information systems and advanced data analytics for business intelligence.

 

Mode of Delivery of the Programme 

The mode of delivery of the program will be Blended learning including face-to-face and online learning modes  

Admission Requirements for the Programme 

Candidates wishing to study for a Doctor of Philosophy in Information Systems degree must satisfy any of the following minimum requirements:

  • Be a holder of a Master’s Degree in a computing field from CUK or its equivalent from a recognized institution/university.

Bachelor of science in environment, lands and sustainable infrastructure
Part I – When to Join

Intakes are in January, May and September.

Part II – Requirements

Program Rationale

Land is critical to the economic, social and cultural development of Kenya. The land issue has been a defining factor in Kenyan history. During the colonial period, land was one of the key reasons for the struggle for independence. Moreover, land issues have remained critical, politically sensitive and culturally complex in post-independent Kenya. Until recently, post-independent Kenya lacked a clearly defined or codified national land policy. The result of this has been a very complex land administration system that has been unable to form a platform upon which to solve historical land injustices and current environmental challenges on land. Equipping current and future land managers with a B.Sc. in Environment, Lands and   Sustainable Infrastructure is a milestone in the provision of the critically required human resource in the land and land use policy implementation. The program intends to equip students with scientific knowledge and skills required to tackle technical issues in the management of land resources sustainably. The degree program will offer a rigorous science-based curriculum that will adequately address public, private and community lands in line with National Land Policy and other existing frameworks for sustainable development. This is highly desirable in the wake of the global Sustainable development Goals (SDGs) and the global target of achieving sustainable development in all member countries.

Land investment and infrastructure is anticipated to experience high growth cantered on the emerging growth projections currently experienced in many African countries. As the country struggles to grow and achieve its vision 2030 which includes among other targets the achievement of environmental quality and sustainable land uses, there is need for mainstreaming environmental sustainable I project planning and development. This programme seeks to equip future workforce in land management and infrastructure related sectors with the much needed skills in line with the market demands.
