I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the 2020/2021 First Year students to Tharaka University College. As stated in motto “Education for Freedom”, the ODeL Directorate has the mandate to provide you quality and effective education in a flexible learning model regardless of where you are located in the globe by aligning University College Programmes for online delivery.

This new era of learning is made possible through a strong combination of state-of-the-art virtual learning facilities, easy to use Online Learning Management System and a dedicated support team to ensure that online delivery of your learning is seamless and effortless.
Our courses are offered in two main modes: Fully online learning and blended learning (combination of web-based and face-to-face learning). In light of the prevailing situation in the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ODEL Directorate has put in place measures to ensure that your learning is not hindered by the pandemic.
