Ashesi has established a reputation as a leader in undergraduate education in Africa, with an educational experience that fosters ethical leadership, an entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to solve complex problems. Across various industries today, Ashesi graduates are highly sought, and work for progress in Africa. At the heart of the Ashesi experience is our liberal arts and sciences curricu

lum, and our campus culture. Ashesi students come from across Africa, live and innovate together on our beautiful campus in Berekuso; half our students receive scholarships, and half are women. On campus, these students join with faculty, staff, alumni and others to engage in discussion, civic action and connection with each other—under a shared mission to build a flourishing African continent.

"Over time, Ashesi gave me both the space and the audience to express my ideas freely. I learned that growth often comes from asking questions, challenging assumptions, and daring to contribute."

When Samuel Inkoom '26 arrived at Ashesi, he rarely spoke in class because he was afraid of making mistakes. Over four years, that hesitation gave way to confidence. He launched a clothing business inspired by lessons from his entrepreneurship courses and developed a platform connecting talented footballers with scouts.

Today, Samuel is equally passionate about challenging social stereotypes, believing that people should be judged by their character and actions rather than outward appearance. Read more about Inkoom: https://ashe.si/4ez7V3M

When Abubakar Essel ('23, M'25) first considered Ashesi, one message stood out: "We will be with you every step of the way."

Over the next SIX years, he found mentors who encouraged his curiosity, opportunities that shaped his research interests, and a community that invested in his growth.

Through the Ashesi-ETH Master's in Mechatronics Engineering program. Essel developed a passion for automation, intelligent systems, and machine learning. His graduate research explored how machine learning and weather data can help predict power system failures—work with the potential to strengthen the reliability of critical infrastructure. Today, he continues contributing to Ashesi as a faculty intern, supporting teaching while collaborating on engineering research.
