University of Energy and Natural Resources

The University of Energy and Natural Resources is a public university in Ghana, established in 2011. 

The university has three campuses located in Sunyani, Nsoatre, and Dormaa Ahenkro, which are of between 85 and 2,000 acres. There are over 16,000 students.

It has eight undergraduate schools: natural resources, energy, engineering, sciences, agriculture and technology, geosciences, arts and social sciences, mines and built environment. Between them, they offer 50 programmes. It also has a graduate school offering a range of MBA, MSc, MPhil and PhD options.

Hostel accommodation is available in rooms of four or six students. The university notes, “Keep calm: there are enough rooms for everyone. Avoid using any unofficial platform to secure a hall/hostel, otherwise you do so at your own risk.” On a similar theme, there are also warnings to beware of fake admissions letters, which purport to be from the university and request payment of fees.

International students are eligible to apply if they have qualifications from a recognised institution, that equate to the requirements for domestic students. Before doing so, they must submit their certificates to the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) for evaluation, and then attach the report to the application form.
