Check if you qualify

Mechanical engineering is a hands-on field that focuses on how things work, from simple tools to complex machinery. A degree in this field at Ashesi University prepares you for a range of careers by building core engineering skills. It is a practical subject that opens doors to many industries in Ghana and beyond.

What mechanical engineering covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover mathematics, physics, and engineering principles, including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science, and machine design. You will also develop skills in computer-aided design, systems analysis, and project management. These skills are useful in manufacturing, automotive, energy, and many other sectors.

How competitive is entry?

Entry to this programme is less competitive than to similar programmes at some other universities. That means more applicants have a realistic chance of being offered a place, but you still need to meet the entry requirements and pass the selection process. For context, mechanical engineering at KNUST is highly competitive, while at Ashesi it is less so. You should check the specific grade requirements to see if you qualify.

Which SHS backgrounds are accepted

The Engineering college at Ashesi University admits students from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds. So if you studied any of these at senior high school, you are eligible to apply for this degree. This openness means you do not need a narrow science background to start your engineering education.
