Will you get in?

Meet the minimum pass grades for this level and you will be considered. Enter your WASSCE grades and we will tell you whether you meet the published cut-off for this programme — and every other programme at KAAF University College you qualify for.

Check if you qualify

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest branches of engineering, dealing with machines, energy, and motion. This degree programme at KAAF University College prepares you to design, analyse, and manufacture everything from small components to large systems. You will build practical skills that are in demand across many industries.

What mechanical engineering actually covers

Most mechanical engineering programmes start with solid foundations in mathematics, physics, and material science. From there you typically move into core areas such as thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, machine design, manufacturing processes, and control systems. You will learn to use computer-aided design (CAD) software and solve real-world problems involving moving parts, heat transfer, and energy efficiency.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to mechanical engineering at KAAF University College is less competitive compared to some other universities. For example, the same programme at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is highly competitive, so your chances at KAAF are likely better if you meet the basic entry requirements. As with any university, you should check the specific WASSCE grades needed and confirm that you qualify.
