A partnership between Accra Technical University (ATU) and Abrantie College to create new opportunities in cosmetology education has taken a major step forward with the accreditation of a Higher National Diploma (HND) in Paramedical Trichology. The new HND addresses a gap in the academic progression of cosmetology students. Dr. King David Thompson explained that the programme was developed after months of research and consultations involving Abrantie College, ATU and industry experts. He also disclosed that plans are underway to develop a Bachelor of Technology (BTech) programme before the first HND students complete their studies. The development is one of the outcomes of an MoU signed between ATU and Abrantie College on September 12, 2024.
