Can You Progress From an Architecture Diploma to a Degree in Kenya?

You may be able to continue from an Architecture diploma to degree study, but do not assume automatic admission or credit transfer. The receiving university decides whether a qualification meets its current entry and exemption rules.

What KENCID publishes

Our Admissions page shows a general school-leaver pathway from Foundation to Certificate to Diploma to Degree or advanced study. This pathway does not promise that every diploma gives direct entry, exemptions or a shorter degree. Read the KENCID pathway guidance alongside the exact Architecture award details.

Ask the receiving university a precise question

Share the full qualification title, awarding body, transcript, course outline and completion date. Ask whether you meet entry requirements, whether any units can be credited and what documents support that decision. Keep the university’s written response.

Keep academic and professional routes distinct

Degree admission is not the same as professional registration. For the University of Nairobi route, read its official Architecture page. For professional regulation, consult BORAQS.
