About Knust
Kwame
Nkrumah University of Science and Technology has a history that dates back to
1951 when the Kumasi College of Technology was established. In 1961 the college
was granted full university status and it became Kwame Nkrumah University of
Science and Technology.
The
university is located in Kumasi, a city in southern Ghana. Kumasi is the
capital of the Ashanti Region and is the second largest city in Ghana after
Accra, the capital.
There
are six colleges within the university: the college of agriculture and natural
resources, college of art and built environment, college of humanities and
social sciences, college of engineering, college of health sciences and the
college of science. These colleges are comprised of faculties, which are
subdivided into departments offering a range of undergraduate and graduate
degree programmes.
In
1974 the Board of Graduate Studies was established to provide further education
to students looking to specialize in science and technology. In 2000 the board
was given the status of a school and has since been developing graduate
programmes that contribute to the economic, scientific, technological and
social advancement of Ghana.
Outside
of the classroom students are encouraged to get involved in the university’s
extracurricular activities. There are currently more than 100 student groups
and organizations on campus but this number is increasing every year as
students start new clubs to fit their interests.
