The Madina Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) is a new tertiary educational institution scheduled to take off in September, 2016. The Institute has already received a CERTIFICATE OF AUTHORISATION from the National Accreditation Board (NAB), granting it permission to start the Accreditation process. MIST is affiliated to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST)

MIST is an off-shoot of the Madina Foundation of Science and Technology (MFST). The MFST was registered to, among other things, establish and run educational institutions at various levels in the country for Ghanaians and students from other African.

VISION

The Vision of the Madina Institute of Science and Technology is to be a leading producer of competent technical and managerial graduates who will form an integral part of Ghana’s development process.

MISSION

The Madina Institute of Science and Technology shall provide affordable quality tertiary education to its students with the right moral training, through a conscious and systematic exposure to research and activities in the corporate world, to complement their academic work to ensure that they graduate with appreciable level of information and practical experience they can put to use immediately after graduation.

OBJECTIVES

The Madina Institute of Science and Technology is being established not only to open up more opportunities to the teeming qualified youth who are unable to get admission into the state established universities(especially for applied science programmes), but also to train them to serve in their communities and nations with selfless dedication.  

EDUCATIONAL STRATEGY

The training in MIST is going to be service-oriented and a lot of emphasis would be put on practical work.

The Foundation is engaging highly qualified academic and administrative staff and is also making available the most modern and up-to-date teaching and learning equipment and materials in all faculties to ensure that in their drive to realise their potential and achieve self- actualization, the students would find nothing lacking.

Faculties would ensure that students undergo at least, two extensive supervised industrial/practical attachments during their studies at the MIST. Marks scored by students during the attachment will form an integral part of the grading system and will be taken into account in the computation of their final grades for graduation.

Faculties are further  encouraged and resourced to bring practitioners from industry, commerce and business, etc to lecture the students to enable them have the feel of how things are done in the corporate world.

MIST is establishing a very strong Research Unit which will be adequately resourced to enable Faculties and students engage in research to create and add to knowledge. Final year students will only be presented for graduation after they have finished their project works which would have been duly marked by both internal and external assessors. The project work would be accorded credit units equal to those of two courses.

Finally, Management will ensure that lecturers and students of MIST undertake outreach programmes within the Institute’s environs and, if necessary, beyond. Workshops and Seminars will be organised for the general public on important topical issues. The Departments of Nursing and Engineering will particularly be very useful in this regard. The Institute’s clinic will be open to the general public.
