Bolgatanga Technical University

Bolgatanga Technical University was founded in 1999 under PNDC Law 321(1992) which was amended in 2007 with an Act of Parliament (Act 745). Currently, the School has two campuses namely, the Bukere and Sumbrungu campuses. In April, 2020, the School was converted to a Technical University by the Technical Universities amendment Act 2020 (Act 1016). The University now runs over twenty-five (25) different tertiary programmes of BTech, HND and Dipolma curricula. Ecological Agriculture is the niche area of the University. This has made Bolgatanga Technical University to build industrial partnerships with the Ministry of Agriculture, the Savanah Agriculture Research Institute (SARI), and the Skills Development Fund (SDF) to improve agriculture in the savannah region of Ghana. The University is at the climax of introducing master degree programmes in Ecological Agriculture and Agricultural Engineering.
