MMUST in partnership with Vera Beauty Collage have pioneered a Bachelor of Technology in Cosmetology. This Cosmetology degree is first of its kind in Africa, exploiting the very lucrative market that has for a long time lacked appropriate professional input. MMUST being an accredited Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institute is well placed to run this skill-based program. Specialized practical sessions are run at the Vera Beauty College, Thika Campus.   

During student celebrations for successful completion of practical classes at Vera College Studios in Thika on 13th July 2018, the TVET Programs Coordinator for MMUST School of Natural Sciences, Dr. Regina Bwire, thanked the management of MMUST and Vera Beauty Collage for the immense support. “We’ll ensure everyone is beautiful and well-groomed through Cosmetology, and we look forward to producing Super Models like Debra Sanaipei and Lupita Nyong’o,” said Dr. Bwire. 

The Director Vera Group of Colleges, Mrs. Alice Kamunge, supported MMUST’s interests in establishing a state-of-the-art studio to Cosmetology programs.  Mrs. Kamunge, who is also the Director Miss Tourism Kenya, also advised that Cosmetology program could easily influence the growth of that industry to support the Presidential Big Four Agenda on enhancing Manufacturing.
