Applicants seeking tertiary education in Forensic Sciences, Industrial Chemistry, Applied Biology, Applied Biochemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics, and other related courses are urged to choose C.K. Tedam University of Technology and Applied Sciences.
According to the Dean of the School of Chemical and Biological Sciences, Prof. James Abugre, all courses offered in the school are practically oriented and based on modernised standards, which offer graduates of various programmes the requisite skills.
Mr. Abugre emphasised that most of its courses are applicable to several fields and well prepared students to be relevant in the competitive job market.
“Applicants need to join us because we are a modern school in that the courses that we do have application in several fields; for instance, doing chemical or biochemical sciences is core now because most of the emergency diseases we will find treatments for, we are able to track discoveries, and we detect new organisms, so we train students to have these skills to meet our needs”. He stated.
“We also go into medical diagnostics because students of chemicals, biochemistry, forensic science, and pharmaceutical technology all have these core skills that can contribute to accurate diagnosis for finding diseases and to making pharmaceutical sales,” Prof. Abugre added
He made this known when he spoke to Mark Smith on A1 Radio’s Daybreak Upper East show regarding the opening of admission for the 2023/2024 academic year.
He noted that having a program like that builds the minds of the students, and their courses have core competencies that are in shortfall, adding that its students can be employed in various laboratories for diagnosis and analysis as chemists, biochemists, laboratory technologists, and pharmaceutical technologists, among others.
The Dean said its past students have found jobs in various industries in the country, including the brewing industries, because they possess skills that enable them to use enzymes to convert whatever carbohydrate into alcohol.
He also disclosed that the university has limited scholarships for deserving undergraduate students, with a priority for orphans and people with disabilities.
