Check if you qualify

Road transport engineering is the field behind the design, construction, and maintenance of roads, highways, and the systems that keep traffic moving safely. This degree programme at Tamale Technical University prepares students to work on transport infrastructure projects. It is a less competitive programme, welcoming SHS graduates from General Science and Technical Studies backgrounds.

What road transport engineering covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of roads and highways. You might study surveying, materials science, road safety, traffic management, and construction project management. The focus is on building practical problem-solving skills that you can apply to real infrastructure projects, from rural feeder roads to busy urban interchanges.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many other engineering degrees, meaning you have a good chance of getting in if your grades meet the university's requirements. Tamale Technical University accepts SHS graduates from General Science and Technical Studies backgrounds. You will still need to check the specific grade requirements with the university to see if you qualify.
