Sunyani Technical University

The University started as Sunyani Technical Institute (SUTECH) in 1967 to offer technical and vocational education and training  in hands-on Craft/Intermediate Block-Laying and Concreting, Carpentry and Joinery, Furniture Craft as well as Painting and Decoration programmes.

In 1997, Sunyani Technical Institute was upgraded to Sunyani Polytechnic (SPOLY) in line with government policy. The enabling law, the Polytechnics Act 745 empowered the institution to offer tertiary education programmes, principally, Higher National Diploma (HND). 

In 2016, Sunyani Polytechnic was converted to Sunyani Technical University (STU), through the Technical Universities Act 2016 (Act 922 as amended). The TUs Act mandates the University to provide higher education and award degrees, diplomas and other certificates in Engineering, Science,  Technology-based disciplines as well as Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET), Applied Arts and related disciplines.
