Kufuor’s appointment is a five-year renewable first tenure which took effect from the 1st of November, 2017. The appointment makes the Former President the Titular Head of the University who presides over all ceremonies of the university as well as confers all degrees, diplomas and certificates awarded by the university on qualified persons.

UMaT is a public university in Ghana, located at Tarkwa about 89km from Takoradi, in the Western Region. The school was initially established as the Tarkwa Technical Institute (TTI) on 3rd November, 1952 but metamorphosed over the years to become the University of Mines and Technology in 2004.

UMaT was mainly established  to provide higher education in mining, technology and related sciences, and to act as a catalyst for the development of mining and technology in Ghana. And within the short period of its existence, the school has proven to be an important centre for the training of engineers and technologists from Ghana, Africa and other parts of the world.

It currently operates two major faculties – the faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Mineral resources Technology, with a number of courses offered in both. In addition, there is a School of Postgraduate Studies which co-ordinates all postgraduate programmes in the University.
