In lieu of such examinations, the applicant should show proof of credit passes in English and Mathematics in WASSCE or any other nationally recognised standard High School level examinations (for qualifications from countries outside WAEC’s aegis).

FOREIGN QUALIFICATION
All foreign qualifications should be referred to the National Accreditation Board (NAB) for determination of equivalences and eligibility for admission to tertiary institutions in Ghana (National Accreditation Board Act, 2007 [Act 744 (2(2b)]). Note should be taken however that the American SAT, TOEFL etc. cannot in themselves be acceptable as entry qualifications into Ghanaian tertiary educational institutions.

For institutions willing to admit HND holders to undergraduate programmes, the applicant must have graduated with a good HND certificate (i.e. at least 2nd Class Lower Division ). In addition, the applicant must have acquired a 2-year post-HND qualification working experience. Institutions under mentorship should follow their Mentor Institutions’ practice with regard to entry levels for HND applicants.
HND candidates: The level of placement of candidates will depend on the match between the content of the diploma and KUC programmes. Where there is a good match, a minimum of Second Class Upper is required for admission to Level 300 (instead of to Level 200).

Other Diploma qualifications from elsewhere assessed to be equivalent to HND may be similarly considered.

Candidates who pass all papers in the Mature Examinations will be ranked and those who fall within the approved quota will be invited for interview.
