About University of Mines and Technology (UMaT)

The (UMaT) started as the  Technical Institute (TTI) on 3rd November 1952 but was officially commissioned by the Government of Ghana, more precisely by His Excellency the Governor of the Gold Coast, Sir Charles Noble Arden Clarke, on 7th October 1953.

In 1961, the Government, upon the advocacy of the Ghana Chamber of Mines, redefined the mission of TTI to incorporate the training of mining technicians and other middle-level manpower for the country's mining and related industries.

In 1961, it was reorganized to become the  School of Mines (TSM) to train the required manpower for the mining and allied industries in Ghana. In 1976, the Government took cognizance of the capability of TSM and its strategic location, Tarkwa, which is at the centre of mining activities in the country.

As this location gave TSM a special strength for mining education, TSM was affiliated with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology () as a faculty of the University so as to enable TSM to offer degree, diploma and certificate programmes in mining and related fields.

The name TSM was changed to  School of Mines (KNUSTSM), Tarkwa. The KNUSTSM, Tarkwa and the  School of Mines were put together to become the Institute of Mining and Mineral Engineering (IMME).

In 1988, a University Rationalization Committee (URC), commissioned by the , recommended the development of the School and its conversion into a University.

In 2000, the conversion of KNUSTSM into a University was again strongly recommended by Louis Berger Inc. in association with Kwame Asante and Associates in a report on the partial commercialization of KNUST.

In 2001, the Council of KNUST considered and approved proposals and recommendations of the Academic Board to merge the School of Mines at  and the School of Mines at Tarkwa into the Western University College of KNUST, Tarkwa.

On 3rd November 2004, at exactly 11.35hrs GMT, the  of the Republic of Ghana passed the bill on the into an Act of .

On 11th November 2004, the President of Ghana gave the Presidential Assent and on 12th November 2004, the University of Mines and Technology, Tarkwa Act 2004 (Act 677) was gazetted and thus, became a law.

In addition to institutional accreditation, UMaT's academic programmes are also accredited by the National Accreditation Board. 

The Institute is made up of six schools & faculties, namely:

  1. School of Postgraduate Studies
  2. School of Railways and Infrastructure Development
  3. School of Petroleum Studies
  4. Faculty of Mining and Minerals Technology
  5. Faculty of Integrated Management Science
  6. Faculty of Engineering
  7. Faculty of Geosciences and Environmental Studies
