Research

  In all we do, we are driven to dig deeper, push further and ask bigger questions and to leverage our knowledge to enrich all human life. KCN is an intensive research college that regards the creation of knowledge, skills, understanding and impact as one of its fundamental mission. The college sees research both as essential to human aspiration and as critical to the development of cultural artefacts, technologies and services to improve the quality of life for all. Our Research Centre, faculties, departments and students work at the cutting edge of research in their fields and collaborate with colleagues across disciplines and institutions to address society’s biggest challenges. Our commitment to research excellence is an investment in the future. Led by the Dean of Research, the Research Centre plays an enabling role in the College’s vision to be recognised as a leading research-intensive college both in Africa and World at large. It also exists to provide research, consultancy and grants support to KCN faculties, students, affiliates and collaborators.
