MKU then came in the seventh position followed by Moi University, Technical University of Kenya (TUK), and Catholic University of Kenya (CUEA) in the eighth, ninth, and tenth positions respectively.

UniRank ranked the Kenyan universities on the basis of being chartered, licensed, or accredited by the Ministry of Education and Commission for University Education of Kenya.

It also looked at whether the institutions offer at least three-year bachelor's degrees or postgraduate master's or doctoral degrees and if they deliver courses predominantly in a traditional, non-distance education format.
