ESTABLISHMENT AND BACKGROUND

The Shareholders of Kenneth Kaunda Metropolitan University Limited were delighted with the approval by the First Republican President to use his name towards the noble cause of offering tertiary education in Zambia. The decision to use “Kenneth Kaunda” in the name of the University was in recognition of the role the First Republican President [He] played in developing and fostering tertiary education in Zambia.

With the authorization to use his name, the university was registered as Kenneth Kaunda Metropolitan University (KKMU) with the Patents and Company Registration Agency (PACRA) and on 13 th August 2012, the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Early Education authorized KKMU to offer University Education. The University is registered by Higher Education Authority to offer tertiary academic programmes at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

The University Campus is situated at the spacious Ibex Hill Corporate Office. The establishment of the University was motivated by the high demand for quality tertiary level academic education and professional training by both school leavers and those in employment.

From the three public universities, over 15 private universities have been established with their operational presence in Lusaka and the Copperbelt Provinces. Despite such a growth, we believe that there is space for high quality university education with a careful balance between academic excellence and commercial considerations.

The University is offering undergraduate, postgraduate and professional programmes in order to contribute to the development agenda of Zambia.

ACADEMIC FACULTIES

During the 2019 and 2022 calendar years, the University will offer programmes under the School of Management, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, School of Laws, School of Health Sciences, School of Education and School of Graduate Studies.

THE UNIVERSITY CALENDAR

The Kenneth Kaunda Metropolitan University has developed academic guidelines that will be a basis for academic activities for annual planning.

The academic cycle shall have 14 weeks of learning, one week for midterm break, one week for exams and two weeks (study break) preparing for final examination. Public holidays are also taken into consideration when developing academic calendar. The final examinations would take not more than two weeks.
