BSc. Agricultural Engineering, Technology and Innovations

This degree programme at Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development focuses on applying engineering to agriculture. It is designed for students from Agricultural Science, General Science, and Technical Studies backgrounds. Here you will find what the programme covers, how competitive entry is, and where it can lead.

What you will study in agricultural engineering and technology

Programmes of this kind generally cover the application of engineering to farming and food production. Typical subjects include farm power and machinery, irrigation and drainage, soil and water conservation, post-harvest handling, and renewable energy systems for agriculture. You will build practical skills in designing and maintaining equipment, managing projects, and solving problems on the ground.

How competitive the programme is

This is a less competitive programme compared with many other engineering degrees. That means your chances of being offered a place are generally better, but you should still confirm that your WASSCE grades meet the requirements the university publishes. The programme is offered full-time at Asante Mampong, and the college accepts students from Agriculture, General Science, and Technical Studies backgrounds.

What you can do after graduation

Graduates of agricultural engineering programmes typically work in agribusiness, farm machinery design and maintenance, irrigation and water management, food processing, and rural development. Some become consultants or start their own workshops supplying equipment to farmers. The degree also prepares you for further study in agricultural engineering or a related field.
