Parallel Programs In KNUST, Everything You Should Know

Apart from the regular and fee-paying mode of admission, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology admits students through a parallel program application portal.

KNUST’s parallel programs are currently run by the Faculty of Social Sciences and the Business school. Applicants who are interested in Social Sciences and Business Administration (All specializations) are required to apply through the admission portal.

This window of opportunity is usually given to students who fail to be admitted via the regular student admission system. Formerly, KNUST’s admission portal was focused on regular and fee-paying modes however, with the coming of the parallel programs, potential students may be at peace to give this opportunity a try.

It is also worth noting that in terms of fee categories, the parallel programs are relatively cheaper compared to the fee-paying option. Nevertheless, a regular option is the most moderate.

Despite the differences, students admitted to any of the admission options enjoy the same privileges except for the time differences in lectures. This is why.
