HND in Electrical/Electronic Engineering

This HND in Electrical/Electronic Engineering at Kumasi Technical University is a practical diploma that prepares you for work in electrical and electronic systems. It combines hands-on training with the theory behind circuits, power, and electronics. The programme is open to students from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds.

What electrical and electronic engineering covers

Programmes of this kind usually introduce you to circuit theory, analogue and digital electronics, electrical machines, power systems, and control systems. You also learn to use test instruments, read technical diagrams, and troubleshoot faults. The mix of theory and practical work means you build skills that are directly useful in industry, whether you are designing small circuits or maintaining larger power installations.

Who can get a place and how competitive it is

Entry to this HND is less competitive than many other engineering programmes, so your WASSCE grades do not need to be in the highest range to be considered. The college admits students from General Science, Technical Studies, and Visual Arts backgrounds. If you studied any of these at SHS, you can check whether your own grades meet the specific requirements for this diploma.
