DHLTU - Dr. Hilla Limann Technical University

Dr. Hilla Limann Technical University (DHLTU), located in Wa started in September 1999 as the then Wa Polytechnic. However, it was not until 2002 that the interim Governing Council was appointed by Government to provide policy direction to the Institution. The first batch of tertiary students was admitted in 2003 to pursue Higher National Diploma (HND) programmes in Agricultural Engineering and Secretaryship and Management Studies.

Following the passing of the Technical Universities Act, 2016 (Act 922), the Technical Universities (Amendment) Act 2018 (Act 974) and the Technical Universities (Amendment) Act 2020 (Act 1016), the institution was converted to a Technical University in 2020 to award its own degrees, diplomas and other qualications on the directions and approval by the DHLTU Governing Council.

Currently, the University runs seven Bachelor of Technology Programmes accredited by GTEC and fourteen HND programmes accredited by CTVET  and other competitive short courses and programmes. Graduate programmes are also being developed to be introduced soon.
