Faculty Overview

This is one of the main faculties of Tamale Technical University. The faculty envisions to provide an environment for excellence in teaching, learning and research in applied sciences and technology, and entrepreneurship for industrial and socio-economic development of Northern Ghana in particular, Ghana and Africa in totality.

Due to the technological revolution in the era of globalization, the content of any course that students now receive is subject to prompt obsolescence. Hence, the importance of giving students the ultimate ability of lifelong learning as urgently required in the labour market. Therefore, our curriculum and teaching methods are continuously evolving to help our courses continue to be relevant for our students and enable them to reach their full potential.

When students decide to apply to TaTU, as Dean of the faculty, I am responsible for a plethora of academic and co-curricular resources and administrative offices that usher our FAST students from admission to graduation. Not only do I oversee the academic quality, standards, and policies of FAST undergraduate education in the classroom but outside of it too. Once again, I say Welcome to TATU.
