Apply here

Yes. We encourage you to apply even while you wait for the results of your standardized exam (WASSCE, A-Level, IB, etc.) Applying early enables the admissions office to review other parts of your application such as your personal essay, extracurriculars, high school transcripts, and to schedule an interview as appropriate. When you receive your exam results, reopen your application, include the results, and resubmit. This process enables the admissions office to make a final decision on your application sooner. 

Applicants for the Master’s in Mechatronic Engineering program with a bachelor’s or master’s degree in mechatronics, mechanical, electrical, computer, allied engineering, or other related degrees will be considered for the program. Applicants with aforementioned degrees awarded beyond five years as at the time of their application can also apply, if they can show evidence of consistent on-the-job professional development.

Applicants for the Ashesi MBA require a good first degree in any field from a recognized university with a minimum of 3 years of relevant work experience. Applicants will also be required to write an entrance exam and undergo an interview process.
