South Eastern Kenya University or SEKU is a university with its main campus located in Kwa Vonza, Kitui County, Kenya. South Eastern Kenya University formerly SEUCO, was a constituent college of The University of Nairobi prior to its award of Charter.

Location

It is specifically located near Kwa Vonza along the Machakos-Kitui Highway and close to the Kitui Campus of Kenyatta University.

Courses

The university is located in a region with some mineral wealth which doesn't receive much rainfall that's why the courses offered concentrate on:

Biochemistry and molecular biology
Actuarial Sciences
Dry land agriculture
Energy studies
Hydrology
Mining
Mineral resources
Related environmental/scientific areas of study
Water studies

Research

The University is said to be taking a leading role in the making of water purification devices. SEKU has distributed low-cost ceramic water filters to more than 1,000 residents of Kitui and its environs. The move is aimed at improving the socio-economic parameters and health of the locals by having them access clean water. This is because most of this region is semi-arid.^[1]
