Ashesi University has welcomed 30 students into the fourth cohort of its Mechatronic Engineering master’s programme. Drawn from Ghana, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe, this year’s group represents 12% of applicants, with 64% being non-Ghanaian and 37% women.

The Mechatronic Engineering graduate programme, now in its fourth year, is offered in partnership with ETH Zurich. This interdisciplinary programme focuses on production and automation, equipping engineering leaders with the skills to advance research and drive the growth of African industry. In addition to technical coursework, students also study decision-making, economics, and management, cultivating a broad skill set essential for leadership.

Students can choose between two- and three-year tracks, earning either a Master of Science (MSc) or a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Mechatronic Engineering. Those in the three-year track also receive a Master of Advanced Studies certificate from ETH Zurich.
