Bachelor of Technology in Electrical/Electronic Engineering

The Bachelor of Technology in Electrical/Electronic Engineering at Kumasi Technical University is a degree programme offered by the Faculty of Engineering. It prepares students for work in the electrical and electronic engineering industry, covering everything from basic circuits to power systems and control technologies. The programme is a practical, hands-on course for those interested in how electrical and electronic devices work.

What electrical/electronic engineering is about

In a typical programme like this one, students study the principles of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism. They learn how to design, build, and test electrical circuits, as well as how to work with power systems, communication systems, and control equipment. Practical laboratory work is usually a large part of the course, giving students hands-on experience with the tools and instruments they will use in the workplace.

How competitive entry is

Admission to this programme is less competitive than many other engineering courses, so you do not need to be at the very top of your class to have a good chance. The Faculty of Engineering accepts applicants from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds. You can see whether your WASSCE grades meet the published requirements on the university's website.

Where the degree can take you

Graduates of electrical and electronic engineering programmes commonly work in power generation and distribution, telecommunications, manufacturing, and building services. They take on roles such as electrical engineer, electronics technician, project engineer, or maintenance manager. Some also go into renewable energy, automation, and even further study in specialised areas.
