How TUM organises its fee structure

TUM fee structures are organised by

Type of sponsorship: government-sponsored KUCCPS students and self-sponsored SSP students
Level of study, certificate, diploma, undergraduate degree and postgraduate
School or institute, for example School of Business, the School of Engineering and Technology, the School of Applied and Health Sciences, the School of Humanities and Social Sciences and various institutes
Whether the programme is practical-based or non-practical-based

Each official fee structure document shows how much a student pays per semester for each year of study. For example, the School of Business fee structure for KUCCPS degree students in 2024,2025 shows a constant semester fee for all four years.

Because TUM is a public university, government-sponsored students generally pay lower tuition than SSP students, and practical or laboratory-based programmes are slightly more expensive than purely theoretical ones.

Snapshot of current fees that guide 2026,2027 planning

Although the exact Technical University of Mombasa fee structure for 2026,2027 is not yet published, the existing 2024,2025 fee schedules give a realistic picture of what different categories of students pay. Below are examples; these are current figures, not official 2026,2027 rates, but they help you understand the level of fees to expect.

Business degree programmes, KUCCPS students

The School of Business fee structure for degree programmes for KUCCPS placed students for 2024,2025 indicates that,

Bachelor of Commerce
Bachelor of Business Administration
Bachelor of Science in Supply Chain Management
Bachelor of Business and Office Management

All pay, per semester,

KES 91,800 in semester one and KES 91,800 in semester two for each year, year 1 to year 4

Specialised programmes under the School of Business,

Bachelor of Business and Information Technology
Bachelor of Science in Maritime Management, Commercial

Pay a slightly higher amount,

KES 102,000 per semester, constant across all eight semesters

From this, a 2026,2027 KUCCPS student joining these programmes can reasonably expect fees in a similar range, with any adjustments announced officially in the updated fee structure.

Engineering and technology degree programmes, KUCCPS students

The School of Engineering and Technology fee structure for KUCCPS degree students in 2024,2025 shows that highly practical, engineering-intensive programmes attract higher fees, reflecting the cost of laboratories, workshops and specialised equipment.

For example,

Bachelor of Technology in Marine Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering Technology
Bachelor of Technology in Civil Engineering Technology
Bachelor of Technology in Medical Engineering
Bachelor of Technology in Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Each is listed at around

KES 168,300 per semester, repeated for all required semesters across the programme

The Bachelor of Architectural Studies and Bachelor of Architecture programmes are slightly more expensive, listed at

KES 183,600 per semester for all semesters across the full programme

Again, these amounts are for 2024,2025, but they clearly show the band that 2026,2027 applicants can expect for similar engineering and architecture programmes.

Certificate and diploma programmes

A sample fee structure for SSP certificate programmes in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology, labelled for 2025, shows how certificate students are charged per semester, including statutory fees like medical levy, activity levy, student union, library levy, ICT levy, examinations, tuition and industrial attachment. In that document, the total payable fee is about KES 39,525 in semester one and KES 34,025 in semester two, with a note that fees for subsequent semesters are similar to semester two and that some items are one-off.

Diploma programmes often sit between certificate and degree costs. The official TUM fee structures page lists separate documents for diploma programmes for each school and for both KUCCPS and SSP categories, making it easy to see precise figures once the 2026,2027 versions are uploaded.

How to pay TUM fees via eCitizen

As of recent academic years, TUM has aligned its fee collection process with the Kenyan government’s eCitizen platform. Official fee structure documents for 2024,2025 clearly state that fees are payable through eCitizen with Paybill business number 222222.

The general process is,

Log in to the eCitizen platform using your national ID or the credentials you created.
Select the option for making payments to a public institution and choose the Technical University of Mombasa as the institution.
Enter the required details, for example, your name and student registration or admission reference.
Input the amount indicated on your TUM fee structure or invoice.
Confirm the details and pay using the mobile money or bank option linked to eCitizen.

TUM also provides an eCitizen fee payment guide through its official noticeboard, and students are encouraged to follow that document step by step, especially when paying for the first time.

Always keep your payment confirmation message and eCitizen receipt, and later download your official fee statement from the TUMMIS student portal once the payment is reflected.

School banking details for the Technical University of Mombasa

While the current official preference is to route payments through eCitizen, TUM fee structures and payment guides also list university banking details, which are used as collection accounts for school fees. A sample certificate fee structure document provides the following bank accounts for the Technical University of Mombasa

Cooperative Bank of Kenya, account number 01129079001600, Nkrumah Road Branch
Standard Chartered Bank, account number 0102092728000, Treasury Square Branch
Equity Bank, account number 0460297818058, Digo Road Branch, which is also listed on Equity’s school fees collection accounts as the Technical University of Mombasa account
National Bank of Kenya, account number 01038074211700, TUM Branch
Kenya Commercial Bank, KCB, Lamu Campus account number 1118817192, Mvita Branch
KCB, TUM fee collection account number 1169329578, Mvita Branch
Barclays Bank, now part of Absa Bank Kenya, account number 2034098894, Nkrumah Road Branch

Important notes when using school banking details,

Some accounts may be specific to certain campuses or programmes, for example, the KCB Lamu Campus account, so always use the account number indicated on your admission letter, fee structure or official communication from TUM finance.
Because TUM is actively promoting eCitizen payments, bank accounts may be used mainly as funding routes into the eCitizen wallet or for specific types of payments. Check the latest instructions before depositing money directly into a bank.
Always write your full name and student admission or registration number clearly on the bank deposit slip and keep the original for your records.

For 2026,2027, you should expect the same main bank partners to remain in use, but it is still essential to confirm the exact account number on your latest fee invoice or directly from the university website or finance office.

Budgeting tips for TUM students in 2026,2027

Because fees for 2026,2027 will be based on council-approved rates that may adjust slightly from 2024,2025 levels, the smartest approach is to use current figures as a planning baseline, then leave some margin in your budget to absorb increments. Here are practical tips,

Estimate an annual study budget
Take the current semester fee for your target programme, multiply by two for a full academic year, then add,

Statutory charges that recur annually
Accommodation costs for 8 to 10 months, depending on the semester pattern
Transport and meals
A small emergency buffer

If your programme is very practical, for example, marine engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, architecture or applied sciences, remember that field trips, industrial attachments and special protective gear may add to your yearly cost.

Plan early with parents or sponsors
Share the estimated Technical University of Mombasa fee structure 2026,2027 with your parents or guardians early, including the hidden costs like registration, medical, activity and caution fees. Planning as a team makes it easier to avoid last-minute scrambling before registration deadlines.

Use instalment-friendly timelines where possible
TUM typically expects you to clear a minimum percentage of your semester fees before registration, then complete the balance within the same semester, according to internal policies. Even if instalments are allowed, always respect the deadlines given by the finance department, because overdue balances can prevent you from sitting exams or accessing key services.

Explore financing options
Common financing sources for TUM students include,

Higher Education Loans Board, HELB, loans for government-sponsored and self-sponsored students
Constituency Development Fund, NG CDF, bursaries from your home constituency
County government bursaries
Corporate or foundation scholarships, especially for high-performing and needy students in specialised programmes such as maritime and engineering
Work study opportunities or part-time jobs, keeping in mind that your class timetable remains the priority
