Egerton University's postgraduate admissions are handled through the Board of Postgraduate Studies, requiring applicants to obtain, pay for, and submit official application forms. Applications undergo a tiered evaluation starting at the department level, progressing through the relevant Faculty Board, and receiving final confirmation from the Director of Postgraduate Studies. Standard admission to a Master's program requires a Bachelor's degree with at least an Upper Second Class Honours (or its equivalent) from a recognized institution, and candidates may only be enrolled in one degree program at a time. However, the Senate may grant admission to Lower Second Class Honours holders with at least two years of relevant experience, or to non-holders of Upper Second Class Honours who demonstrate sufficient research and scholarly merit. Individual departments may also set additional academic requirements or conduct entrance interviews subject to Senate approval.
