Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is aiming to ensure easy mobility and access for its students who continue courses overseas through a partnership with the French Embassy.
The partnership will facilitate and allow local students to receive additional studies in various academic programmes in France.
The French Embassy and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology’s partnership has reemphasised commitment to supporting young Ghanaians to further their education in world-class colleges/universities in France.
In a maiden Education Fair held in Kumasi, the French Embassy through its educational consult, Campus France, hosted nearly 74 French universities and colleges to provide study-in-France academic solutions to students.
The move is to enlighten prospective students and increase the admission of qualified Ghanaian students into French-based schools.
Thousands of prospective students gathered at the fair hoping to grab guidance and opportunities to study engineering, Business, and the Humanities in France.
Head of Cooperation and Cultural Affairs at the French Embassy, Julien Lucas, confirmed that over 500,000 Africans receive education in France.
He reassured of the Embassy’s commitment to assist more prospective students in France.
“It's not difficult to go to France and study. We encourage more Ghanaians to embrace this opportunity. We are ready to assist with travel applications and the mobility issues of students, from Ghana to France and from France to Ghana,” he said.
Provost of the College of Engineering at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, KNUST, Prof Kwabena Biritwum Nyarko says KNUST is ready to embrace the mobility partnerships.
“We have other areas of collaboration like collaborative research under MOUs with some French universities. So this is an excellent opportunity for higher education institutions in Ghana to work with their counterpart in France. As part of their education programme, some of our students study outside. And this will address mobility issues,” he said.
Mathieu Bragato of Campus France emphasized the openness of the French community to providing holistic and quality education.
“Schools in France are among the top university and college rankings globally. This proves the quality of academic experience provided for Ghanaian students. Cost-wise, many schools are affordable and have expenses absorbed by the government, and the institution,” he said.
The fair hosted several universities that presented opportunities in various study areas available in France.
