The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Strasbourg, France to offer opportunity to staff members of the French Unit of the Modern Language Department of KNUST to acquire  Doctorate Degree (PhD) in French.

The Vice Chancellor of KNUST, Prof. William Otoo-Ellis, and the Vice President of International Relations of the Strasbourg University, Prof. Francis Kern, signed for their respective institutions.

Prof. Kern said the MoU was part of an integrated programme by the university to benefit four Ghanaian universities, namely the University of Ghana, Legon, the University of Cape Coast, the University of Education, Winneba and the KNUST.

Already, the universities of Cape Coast and Education, Winneba have signed their documents, while the University of Ghana, Legon is also expected to sign a similar agreement.

Prof. Otoo-Ellis said the programme, facilitated by the French Embassy in Ghana, would also tackle other fields, including engineering, as a step to meet the current changing demands in the academic studies.

The students have three years to complete the course.
