Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology

KNUST Seal

Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is a University in Kumasi, Ghana. It is the second public university established in the country as well as the second largest University in Ghana. The University has its roots in the plans of the Asantehene Agyeman Prempeh I to establish a University in Kumasi as part of his drive towards modernization of his kingdom. This plan never came to fruition due to the clash between British empire expansion and the desire for King Prempeh I to preserve his kingdom's independence.
