Directorates, Departments and Sections

Mandates, services and leadership of every University unit.

The Open University of Kenya is organised into directorates, departments and sections that together deliver academic programmes, quality assurance, research, student finance, communications and corporate services. Each unit page sets out the mandate and functions of the unit, the services it offers, applicable policies and how to reach it - with the head of unit linked to their full staff profile.
