Kumasi Technical University (KsTU) has achieved another significant milestone in its international academic collaboration as students from the Department of Mechanical Engineering have successfully completed a two-year scholarship programme in the People’s Republic of China.
These students are part of the second batch of fifteen (15) Mechanical Engineering students, participated in the “Future of Africa” Scholarship Programme, a China Government–sponsored initiative established within the collaborative framework between Kumasi Technical University and Weifang Vocational College, China. The programme is designed to develop highly skilled, application-oriented graduates through intensive technical training, industrial exposure, and international academic experience.
The students were meticulously selected through a highly competitive process and embarked on a two-year academic journey in China as part of KsTU’s strategic partnership with Chinese institutions. The extended programme provided the students with in-depth academic instruction, hands-on practical training, and rich cultural exposure, enabling them to specialise effectively in their chosen areas of Mechanical Engineering.
The successful completion of the programme was marked by a short graduation and certificate presentation ceremony held at Weifang Vocational College, where the students were awarded certificates in recognition of their academic performance and professional competence.
Following the completion of their Diploma studies in China, the students are expected to return to Ghana to continue their Degree programme in Mechanical Engineering at Kumasi Technical University during the 2025/2026 Academic Year.
The University commends the students for their discipline, resilience, and commitment throughout the programme and has reaffirmed KsTU’s dedication to expanding international collaborations that enhance student learning, innovation and employability.
