University of Nairobi has been ranked 7 among the top 10 universities in Africa in 2020 by the African Exponent.
The African exponent has ranked universities in Africa based on licenses, accreditation by the relevant bodies in each country, mode of delivery of the courses; teaching and learning, four year undergraduate degree and post graduate programs offered.
This publication also matched the ranking released by unirank of top 200 universities.
University of Pretoria, University of Capetown and University of Witwatersrand took position 1, 2 and 3 respectively. University of Lagos, University of Nairobi and Cairo University are the only other universities from other regions in Africa in the top 10 apart from the South African region.

This ranking is based on academic prestige, scholarly excellence and intellectual horsepower.
