What you'll study
Community health is the work that happens outside the ward — promoting health, preventing disease and delivering primary health care where people actually live. A Level 6 diploma with practicals and attachment inside the fee structure.
Six trimesters across two years, each trimester four months. Your attachment places you in a real facility or community setting, and it is logged.
The unit-by-unit curriculum is TBC on this page — this is a new programme and we will publish the full unit list once it is confirmed. Ask us and we will talk you through it.
Fees
KES 38,500 per trimester — the standard fee
First trimester KES 56,200. It is higher because registration, caution money (refundable), the uniform, the medical examination on admission and the Hepatitis B vaccine are all charged once. From the second trimester the fee settles to KES 38,500.
