HND Automotive Engineering

The HND Automotive Engineering programme at Koforidua Technical University gives you practical and technical skills for working with vehicles. Offered by the Faculty of Engineering, it welcomes SHS graduates from General Science, Technical Studies, or Visual Arts backgrounds. This diploma prepares you for a hands-on career in the automotive industry.

What automotive engineering covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover how vehicles work, including engines, transmissions, braking systems, and electrical components. You learn to diagnose faults, carry out repairs, and perform routine maintenance. Practical time is often a big part of the training, so you graduate with skills you can use immediately in a workshop or garage.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this HND is less competitive than to many other engineering programmes. The college accepts SHS backgrounds in General Science, Technical Studies, or Visual Arts. To confirm whether your WASSCE results meet the requirements, contact the admissions office—they will tell you if your grades qualify.

Where this diploma can lead

Graduates typically move into roles such as automotive technician, workshop supervisor, or service adviser. The automotive industry in Ghana needs people who can keep vehicles safe and running, and a diploma like this gives you a strong start. You could also continue your education in engineering or business management.
