About Technical University of Mombasa
Technical University of Mombasa (TUM) is a public Technical university located in the coastal city of Mombasa, Kenya. It is one of the National Polytechnics recently elevated to a fully-fledged University in Kenya. It encompasses the many benefits of a small University in the nation’s Island city bordering the great Indian ocean. The various phases it has undergone so far reflect the GOK’s concerted efforts in promoting technical, industrial, vocational and entrepreneurship education and training in line with the dynamic technological and industrial growth in Kenya and in Africa.
The origin of TUM can be traced back to the late 1940s as a result of the consultations pioneered by Sir Philip Mitchell in 1948 between The Aga Khan, the Sultan of Zanzibar, the Secretary of State for the colonies, Sir Bernard Reilly and H. M. Treasury. Out of these consultations, Mombasa Institute of Muslim Education (MIOME) was founded from capital raised by means of gifts of Kshs.100, 000 from Sultan of Zanzibar and Kshs.50, 000 by the Bohra Community of East Africa at the insistence of Doctor Sayedna Taher Saifuddin, the high priest of the Bohra Community. The Khamisi Family donated 27.5 acres of land where the institute was built and 4.2 acres in Tudor area where the Kiziwi Campus stands. The later land giving us challenges of illegal settlers.
At its inception, MIOME was charged with the prime objective of providing adequate technical education on Muslim students of East Africa. In May 1951, MIOME enrolled its first batch of students to undergo a technical education programme which placed special emphasis on Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Seamanship and Navigation, and Woodwork.
