Bachelor of Technology in Welding and Fabrication Engineering

Tamale Technical University offers a Bachelor of Technology in Welding and Fabrication Engineering under its Faculty of Engineering. This programme trains you in the science and craft of joining and shaping metal, preparing you for work in industries that build and maintain structures, machinery, and equipment.

What welding and fabrication engineering actually means

Welding and fabrication engineering combines practical skills with engineering principles. You learn how to cut, shape, and join metals using processes like arc welding, gas welding, and brazing, and how to design and assemble metal components for buildings, pipelines, pressure vessels, and vehicles. Programmes of this kind usually cover blueprint reading, materials science, quality control, and safety standards, and graduates typically come away with both hands-on ability and the technical knowledge to solve real-world problems.

How hard it is to get a place

This programme is less competitive than many engineering courses. Tamale Technical University accepts students from General Science and Technical Studies backgrounds into its Faculty of Engineering, so if you have studied either at SHS, you are eligible to apply. Because entry is less competitive, your WASSCE aggregate does not need to be as high as it would for more sought-after engineering programmes. However, you still need to meet the university's minimum requirements, so check the specific grades you have against what the university asks for.
