The Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) has announced its partnership with the Kenya School of Law to enhance paralegal studies.
Form Four leavers seeking to join the law school can now apply directly on the KUCCPS portal. The new partnership features a Diploma course in law, which requires a C (plain) in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) exam and a C+ (plus) in both Kiswahili and English.
In a statement dated February 10, the placement service asserted that the new partnership is aimed at enhancing access to paralegal studies for all students who sat for the KCSE exam between 2000 and 2024.
“Individuals seeking to enrol in Kenya School of Law (KSL) for paralegal studies can now apply through the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) online portal,” part of the statement read.
“For the first time, KSL has partnered with KUCCPS to enable students interested in pursuing the Diploma in Law Course under KSL’s Paralegal Training Programme (PTP) to apply.
Form Four leavers with KCSE from the year 2000 to 2024 are eligible to apply during the current application window.”
KUCCPS further encouraged interested candidates seeking to join KSL for the May intake to use the student portal, https://students.kuccps.net/, which opened on January 24 and will close again on February 14.

First-year tuition fees amount to Kshs. 131,000 payable in three termly instalments while the second year’s total is Ksh136,000 also payable in instalments.
Dr Henry Mutai, KSL’s Director General and CEO, spoke during the launch, noting the significant boost this partnership would serve in bridging the gap among practising legal professionals in the Bar, the corporate world, and government institutions.
“The Diploma in Law programme is meant to meet the current needs for paralegals with broad-based knowledge, skills and abilities.
As KSL, we recognize the importance of collaborating with reputable institutions such as KUCCPS to ensure our programs remain accessible to a wider pool of prospective trainees,” he stated.
“By partnering with KUCCPS, we believe we can further enhance the reach and impact of our institution, while also contributing to the national goal of providing quality education to all Kenyan Citizens.”
The PTP programme will also feature practical legal skills necessary for paralegal duties such as investigation officers, court clerks, legal assistants, and case-management officers in various offices in the public sector, private sector, and Civil Society.
KSL joins several other non-Ministry of Education institutions that have sought the services of KUCCPS in their application process.
