KAAF University College

KAAF University College was incorporated in 2006 under the companies Code Act 179 of 1963. However, admissions started during the 2008/2009 Academic Year with a handful of pioneering students. The school started with the establishment of the Faculty of Engineering and later a Department of Business. Within 4 years, the number had risen to nearly 1000, with the Engineering Faculty having a larger number of students. The School currently has a student population of around 1200 and offers courses in engineering, business, law, nursing and computer science and is affiliated to KNUST as our mentor institution and for engineering and business, Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) for our law program, and to University for Development Studies (UDS) for computer Science. According to the Founder of KAAF University College, Mr Michael Aidoo, two things prompted him to establish the University College: He realized, after many years of working with various organizations, that there were Higher National Diploma (HND) graduates who sometimes proved more proficient than BSC. Degree holders but were discriminated against in terms of remuneration and the opportunities to rise to top management positions because they did not possess degrees. He, therefore, decided to help such HND holders to obtain the necessary engineering degrees not only to improve their performance and increase their earnings but to provide them with the opportunity to grow. He desired to help increase the number of engineers in the country. As such, he decided to establish a University College near Accra Because there were institutions and organization in the metropolitan area that had laboratories which could be accessible to the students of the University College.
