Programme Overview
Kumasi Technical University was initially established as a Technical Institute in 1954 and later converted to a non-tertiary Polytechnic on October 13, 1963. As a result of the enactment of the Polytechnic Law, 1992 (P.N.D.C L. 321), the status of Polytechnics was elevated to the level of tertiary institutions with the mandate to run Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes with provision to mount degree programmes in future. Since 2007 this law has been replaced by the Polytechnics Act, 2007 (Act 745) which mandates the Polytechnics to award HND, degrees and other certificates accredited by the National Accreditation Board (NAB). The Kumasi Polytechnic Centre for Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development (KPCEED) was set up in 2007 to run HND in Entrepreneurship and Finance after approval has been given by the National Accreditation Board. The Kumasi Polytechnic was converted to Technical University in September 2016. Under the new Technical University Statutes, the centre is now Faculty of Entrepreneurship and Enterprise Development with two departments.
