Check if you qualify

The HND in Chemical Engineering at Kumasi Technical University is a diploma programme offered by the Faculty of Engineering. It gives you the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to work in the chemical and process industries. The programme is designed for SHS leavers who enjoy science and want to apply it to real-world production.

What chemical engineering covers

Chemical engineering is the branch of engineering that turns raw chemicals, energy, and materials into useful products. Programmes of this kind usually cover process design, thermodynamics, fluid flow, heat transfer, and safety. You will learn how to operate and improve industrial processes, and how to manage the environmental impact of production. The skills you build include problem-solving, data analysis, and project management.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this HND programme is less competitive than many other engineering courses at the university. The programme accepts students from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds, so it is open to a broader range of SHS leavers. Even so, you will need to meet the university's entry requirements, so check that your qualifications are suitable.
