The Admissions Office of Takoradi Technical University has commenced a door-to-door admissions campaign expected to take three separate teams to about 139 pre-tertiary institutions across Western, Western North, Greater Accra, Ashanti and Eastern Regions of Ghana. This is to enable the university to bring the various learning opportunities offered at its faculties to the doorsteps of students to take advantage, as they seek further studies at the tertiary level.
Speaking on the sidelines of the 2025 admissions campaign, Head of TTU’s Admissions Office, Benard Mayne said the campaign is designed to connect directly with final-year students in the pre-tertiary Institutions and radio interviews to offer them more than just information but real opportunities.
He revealed that, as part of TTU’s commitment to its Corporate Social Responsibility, biggest highlight of the outreach will be the distribution of free admission forms which normally cost Gh₵200.00.
“The University intends to visit about 139 schools where about 2,000 admission forms would be distributed free of charge to prospective applicants. These initiatives are a testament to the university’s vision of ensuring that no capable student is left behind due to financial or physical challenges. The University also have flexible fee payment plan for the less privileged students. This thoughtful gesture is aimed at reducing the financial burden on applicants and encouraging access to higher education for all,” he noted.
Bernard Mayne further mentioned that due to TTU’s commitment to tertiary education, the university also has several scholarship packages for brilliant but needy students, and special support packages for students with disabilities.
He gave a highlight of other activities to be carried out on the admissions drive.

Thus, from our various Faculties including Engineering, Applied Sciences, Applied Health Sciences, Media and Communication Studies, Liberal Studies, Built and Natural Environment, Business Studies and Applied Arts,” he said.
