Nazareth Technical College (NTC), as it was known then, was founded in 1993, and educated its students solely in the field of technology. It then began to educate those who would become teachers of technology, and in 2003, business programmes became available at the university. Following this, engineering courses also began to be taught at ASTU, and in 2011, the institution was once again renamed with the title by which we know it today.

More than 2,000 students attend ASTU now and the institution is organised into seven schools, with two of these being based in the nearby town of Asella. The five schools on the campus in Adama are as follows: School of Humanities and Law, School of Business, School of Natural Sciences, School of Engineering and Information Technologies, and School of Educational Science and Technology Teachers Education. The two remaining schools in Asella are the School of Health and Hospital and the School of Agriculture.

    A Valuable Academic Journey at ASTU

    I studied Mechanical Engineering at Adama Science and Technology University (ASTU) and completed my BSc degree in 2015. Overall, my experience was valuable and shaped my foundational technical knowledge and problem-solving skills.
    The university offers a strong engineering curriculum, and the lab sessions gave us hands-on exposure to real-world applications. The campus is calm and green, providing a good environment for study. I also appreciated the sense of community among students and the passion of some instructors who truly cared about our learning.
    At the time of my studies, there were issues with the consistency of course delivery, some instructors lacked proper engagement, and lab equipment was often outdated or limited. Administrative services were sometimes slow and frustrating, especially regarding scheduling and student support.
    Yes, I would recommend ASTU, especially for students pursuing engineering and science degrees in Ethiopia. The university is growing and improving, and for motivated students, it can be a great launchpad.

    The university focus on technical fields other social science fields are neglected. In my opinion university should combine both scientific fields. Business fields, social science fields and natural science fields are important for university as well as country development.

    New resources and promising developments

    Adama Science and Technology University is good for students passionate about engineering and technology. The university has a strong focus on practical learning, with well-equipped labs and experienced professors who guide students through real-world applications of their studies. One of the best aspects is the emphasis on research and innovation—there are plenty of opportunities to participate in projects that push the boundaries of science. However, campus facilities and infrastructure could use some improvements, especially in terms of student accommodation and internet access. The university’s location in Adama is a bonus; it has a lively atmosphere but is not as overwhelming as Addis Ababa. Social life on campus is decent, with student organizations and events helping to keep things interesting.
