Our Story

A Legacy of Excellence
in Business Education

MAT ABACUS Business School was born from a shared vision: to create a world-class institution for professional and academic business education in the heart of East Africa.

In 2019, two pioneering institutions merged to form MAT ABACUS. Management Accountancy Training Company Limited (MAT), founded in 1999, brought two decades of unparalleled expertise in professional certification training. Abacus Business School, founded in 2015, contributed its innovative approach to academic education and forward-thinking curriculum design.

Today, we are an approved learning partner of Edinburgh Business School (Heriot-Watt University) and Oxford Brookes University, committed to delivering education recognized and respected by employers worldwide. Our focus on academic rigor, renowned faculty, and industry-aligned curriculum prepares students for success in the global business landscape.
