About the Department
Bomet University College (BUC) first established the Department of Research and Postgraduate Studies in July 2019 with Dr. Tony Okwach Omusonga as the founding head. In January 2022, the department was renamed Postgraduate Studies, Partnerships and Linkages (PPL) with a broad mandate of coordinating postgraduate studies, partnerships and linkages.
Our Role
The department coordinates a variety of postgraduate diplomas, master and doctoral programmes. In the academic year 2021/2022, the department facilitated the admission of twenty-seven (27) postgraduate students across all the schools – the pioneer cohort of postgraduate students at BUC.
Our Vision
The department aims at developing a quality assurance system to enhance the quality of the research environment as well as promoting transparent and accountable procedures for admission, teaching & supervision in postgraduate education.
Partnerships & Linkages
Partnerships and linkages are an integral part of a modern and dynamic university. We view networking with industry, research organizations, and academia as a strategy for improving the quality of our programs.
