Knutsford University College

Knutsford University College

Knutsford University College is an independent institution established in 2007 to help meet the increasing demands for quality but affordable university education in Ghana, Africa, and across the world. Due to its impressive academic facilities, innovative life-changing programmes, dedicated staff, good governance and management structures and the conducive learning environment, Knutsford was accredited by the National Accreditation Board (NAB) of the Ministry of Education in the Republic of Ghana in that same year to begin operations in 2008.
It also got affiliation with the nation's premier University of Ghana (UG) in 2011 for mentorship and award of UG's degree to its graduates. In 2017, the University College extended its affiliation with the University for Development Studies also in Ghana.
Currently, the Knutsford University  College which started with 25 students in 2008 at its plush East Legon campus in Accra, the capital of Ghana, West Africa, and only 10 minutes drive away from Kotoka International Airport has grown in thousands and graduated over 1000 students and still counting. Also, it has established a second campus in Kumasi at Bomso, about 25 minutes drive away from the regional airport.

Knutsford University College is exceptional. It is mandated is to groom, transform, and inspire students to lead godly and purposeful lives, serve society with distinction and integrity, and passionately enrich lives everywhere in the world.  Therefore our degrees and programmes aim at developing permanent foundations for inspiring leadership and stewardship among our students and graduates for their own personal, intellectual and professional development and as a consequence, for national, international and global development.

The university recognises the fact that whilst each person must contribute his or her portion for self, communal, national, and global development, leadership is key to a paradigm shift and for fundamental change in every community. Just as people perish with ignorance so do they perish with shortsighted or weak leadership.

Naturally then, not everyone is a leader and not every programme leads to successful leadership. Leadership can and must be nurtured from among those with demonstrated potential. To ensure creative, active, wise, disciplined and inspiring leadership amongst our students, therefore, at Knutsford the subject of leadership is central to our programmes and is consciously developed as a specific, comprehensive, and detailed programme of character building and heroic thinking.
