Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology - KNUST Speciality : Biological Sciences
programme: Plant Science and Biotech

KNUST is already known for it’s best in Ghana with their academic reputation widely recognized for instance quality education and best lectures as to how they involve in the mode of their teaching really pushes their wards. It’s known for focusing in the research significantly in respect tk the academic discourse making them also the leading research institute. Nevertheless, some departments really luck the sophisticated laboratory equipment for frequent exposure of their practical programs becoming a problem after their exposed to the word. Again, with the number of students in the lecture rooms also factor part of the learning issue since a large number of students limits lectures to give their best out.
For my programme; Agricultural Biotechnology in the year 2024 batch I personally didn’t enjoy the needed attention that should have been out for students particularly in the laboratory bases as the programme demands to be in the lab to be given the right attention and the skills and with this less attention with less frequent in going to the lab for everything to be fully theoretical knowledge due to huge number of students with less or small space biotechnology laboratory. So at the end of the four-year stay on campus would sadly be theoretical and less practical.
Lectures in respect to the way of setting their exams seems clearly like enjoying for students to fail which professionally should not be the case since they are to guide their students in succeeding as well not the otherwise.
Lastly, if the institution really prioritize students to give their maximum in the student, I think they should do something about the access of getting adequate spaces to learn since not all students can learn in their respective hotels or halls since at times it can be challenging as well.

Overall, my experience in KNUST is one of positive intrigue and new experiences. I have new friends and mentors who guide me and help me navigate certain, if not most, life situations. Personally my only problem is my inability to access every information on campus on a particular platform a part from that I’m perfectly fine with campus life, academics and social life.
I’d completely recommend KNUST to anyone who wants to school in West Africa especially Ghana
