To answer the question; what are the best universities in Africa? uniRank bases their 2021 African university ranking of recognized institutions of higher learning on three criteria;

• being chartered, licensed and/or accredited by the appropriate higher education-related organization in each country
• Offering at least four-year undergraduate degrees (bachelor degrees) or postgraduate degrees (master or doctoral degrees)
• Delivering courses predominantly in a traditional, face-to-face, non-distance education format

According to their website, uniRank indicates that their ranking is valid and unbiased and not influenced by anyone.

It goes on to note that they get their data from independent web intelligent sources, and not universities themselves.

Only one of the best Kenyan universities outperformed giants to appear in the top 20 list. That is the University of Nairobi, which comes from number 7 last year to number 9 in 2021.
