Established in 1999, Zetech University is a private university located along Thika Road in Ruiru, that started as a small Information Technology college but has grown and evolved to push the boundaries of knowledge on topics that range from Communication, Teaching, Finance, and more through its specialized 21 undergraduate courses.

The university took its name from Zenith – which means the highest point in the sky, and Technologies because it offered IT-oriented courses. In 2014, Zetech University management had an interest in elevating the then-college to a higher learning institution. With respect to the Universities Act of 2012 and the University Regulations of 2014, they applied to the Commission for University Education (CUE) for the authority to establish a university.

Zetech received the Letter of Interim Authority in that year (2014) after receiving a go-ahead from CUE, and it continued to develop its physical facilities and academic resources until August 2022, when it was granted a Charter as Zetech University.

Since then, this modern private university has made a place among the top academic institutions in Kenya. Find out what it takes to study at Zetech University:
