Adama Science and Technology University

Adama Science and Technology University (ASTU) was first established in 1993 as Nazareth Technical College (NTC), offering degree and diploma level education in technology fields. Later, the institution was renamed as Nazareth College of Technical Teacher Education (NCTTE), a self-explanatory label that describes what the institution used to train back then: candidates who would become technical teachers for TVET colleges/Schools across the country.

In 2003, a new addition to NCTTE came about—introduction of business education. Nonetheless, the new entries were solely meant for similar purposes: these graduates were also expected to help overcome the existing dearth of educators in vocational institutions.

ASTU planned to apply the principle of “selection and concentration” which is the policy of student admissions. Realizing ASTU aims to produce graduates elite in science and technology, our Office should give admission to “selected few” students who are talented in science and technology. Recruitment of high calibre students both to the undergraduate and postgraduate programs is one the major activities.

It is highly desirable to admit students who are talented in science and technology. This will warrant satisfaction of students of their majors. The satisfaction will in turn lead to strong enthusiasm and lasting perseverance which are necessary conditions for the success of quality teaching and learning, research and community services of the University.
