University of Energy holds matriculation ceremony for 1,887 students 

The University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) has admitted 1,887 students to pursue academic programmes for the 2017/2018 academic year.
 
Vice-Chancellor, Professor Harrison Kwame Dapaah, announced this at the sixth matriculation of the University in Sunyani.
  
Concerning postgraduate programmes, he said, 129 applicants were offered admission to commence Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctoral programmes, saying that represented over 100 per cent improvement above last academic year’s figures into the Graduate School. 

Prof. Dapaah noted that it is the objective of the University to increase total postgraduate enrolment to about 15 per cent of the total student population in the near future.

He said the University is poised to provide access to university education to as many qualified applicants as possible, but it is constrained due to inadequate academic and residential facilities for staff and students.
 
The VC advised the fresh students to acquaint themselves with all the rules and regulations governing the University and religiously observe them. 

Prof. Dapaah stressed that they must avoid academic dishonesty and other social vices as that could jeopardise whatever professional opportunities are at their disposal as students.

Prof. Dapaah reminded the matriculants on their primary aim of enrolling at the University and through their chosen academic programmes to ultimately graduate with success.
