The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) is ranked the seventh leading technical university in the world. It comes next after Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge, Yale-MIT, Berlin and the Imperial College.
Prof. Kwesi Andam, Vice-Chancellor of KNUST, who disclosed this during this year’s matriculation of the University, said KNUST’s entry requirement was very high.
He identified the constant exodus of well-trained Ghanaian experts to the USA and Europe in search of greener pastures as the major obstacle to the country’s effort at attaining rapid development.
He told the freshmen that “if all of you here in four or six years from now, will aim to live and work in Ghana, together, we can transform our nation into a paradise”.
