University profile
Karl Kümm University, Vom (KKU) is a private Christian university established on 3 February 2021 by the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN), which is its proprietor. It is named in honour of Hermann Karl Wilhelm Kümm, leader of the British missionaries of the Sudan United Mission who came to Nigeria in 1904 and out of whose work COCIN was established and grew. Its philosophy holds that God is the author of all knowledge and truth, and the university aims to address the whole person: spirit, mind and body.
The main campus is at Vom in Jos South Local Government Area of Plateau State, with a second campus within the Gindiri Schools Compound in Gindiri district, Mangu Local Government Area. Both sit on the Jos Plateau highlands, which have a near-temperate climate. The postal address is P.M.B. 08, Vom.
Academic work is organised in two faculties. The Faculty of Arts, Management and Social Sciences has seven departments: Accounting, Christian Religious Studies, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Management Studies, Political Science, and Religion and Philosophy. The Faculty of Science and Computing has five: Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Computer Science, Mathematics and Physics. All degrees are four-year B.Sc. programmes (Christian Religious Studies is also four years): Accounting, Biochemistry, Business Administration, Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Economics, Entrepreneurship, Industrial Chemistry, Industrial Mathematics, Information Technology, Microbiology, Physics with Electronics, Political Science and Christian Religious Studies.
The university describes its mission as producing highly skilled graduates with impeccable character who contribute positively to national and human development, and its core values as Christian faith, excellence, integrity and service. Its objectives include spiritual, moral and psychological development of students, character formation for Christian leadership, and research aimed at solutions to societal problems and the effective use of natural resources. The university is open to students from Nigeria and other nations.
The university is licensed by the National Universities Commission (NUC). Eleven programmes hold full NUC accreditation (Accounting, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Economics, Business Administration, Entrepreneurship, Industrial Mathematics, Physics with Electronics, Political Science and Christian Religious Studies) and three (Computer Science, Cybersecurity and Information Technology) hold interim accreditation. The university library is open to students and staff from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and a chapel and students' fellowship leadership run Christian life on campus. In October 2026 the university announced plans to establish additional faculties of Medicine and Law, and the Vice Chancellor has been seeking partnerships with institutions such as the National Veterinary Research Institute Vom, the University of Jos and ANAN University Kwall.
