The University’s commitment to advancing the knowledge and skills of security professionals is clearly demonstrated by the recent signing and implementation of the Collaborative Agreement (CA) between MMUST and the National Defence University-Kenya (NDU-K). Such partnerships are expected to not only support MMUST’s development, but also contribute towards enhancing national security.
