Following months of engagement and the rollout of our 1+1 MSc in Applied AI and Decision Analytics, the partnership between Accra Technical University (ATU) and Saint Louis University (SLU), USA, has now been officially signed and sealed.

The agreement was formalised on 9 September 2026 during a visit to Saint Louis University by a delegation from Accra Technical University, led by the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Engr. Amevi Acakpovi. The ATU delegation was received by Kathy E. Johnson, Ph.D., Executive Vice President and Provost of Saint Louis University.

The signing strengthens the relationship between the two universities and provides a clear framework for the joint academic programmes and other areas of collaboration being developed.

A key component of the partnership is the 1+1 MSc in Applied AI and Decision Analytics, which allows students to begin their studies at ATU and continue at Saint Louis University. Under the arrangement, students who successfully complete the programme requirements will receive two certificates—one from Accra Technical University and the other from Saint Louis University.

Beyond the current programme, discussions between the two institutions centred on expanding the collaboration to include other academic programmes. This development could provide more ATU students with opportunities to benefit from international learning experiences and earn qualifications from both institutions.

The partnership also provides opportunities for student and faculty exchanges, joint research and other academic activities, thereby strengthening the sharing of knowledge and expertise between ATU and SLU.
