UMaT Courses and Cut-Off Points For 2025/26 Admission

Tertiary institutions have begun releasing their cut-off points for the 2025/26 academic year. In this article, I have listed UMaT Courses and Cut-Off Points for the 2025/26 year.

The University of Mines and Technology (UMaT) was founded in 1953, as the Tarkwa Technical Institute. The institute has expanded its infrastructure and admissions, and in order to be admitted, students must meet the minimum requirements for UMaT courses and their cut-off points.

UMaT courses are carefully designed to provide students with high-quality classroom theory and fieldwork experiences. An undergraduate degree can be completed in eight semesters (4 years) through the General Certificate of Education (A-Level), Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE), or West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

General Requirements

WASSCE applicants must have a minimum aggregate score of 36.
The SSSCE applicant’s minimum aggregate is 24.
Applicants with ordinary or advanced level certificates must have a GCE Ordinary Level Certificate or equivalent with credits in five subjects (English, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry) or a GCE Advanced Level Certificate with passes in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry.

Requirements For Mature Applicants

Mature applicants should be at least 25 years old.
Have a birth certificate that is at least five (5) year old after its issue date.
Have an SSSCE/WASSC or GCE O’ Level Certificate with credit in five subjects, including English, Mathematics, and a science subject.
An experience in the relevant field of study.
Pass the written exam and/or the interview.
