Established and accredited by the National Accreditation Board, Ghana in 2006, Data Link Institute was granted the right to operate as a higher educational Institute and has been officially inaugurated.

The right gave DLIBT the opportunity to run programmes that will lead to the award of undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. This we have done for the past ten (10) years. The day-today administration of the Institute is managed by the President, Vice President, Registrar, Librarian, Deans of Faculties and staff with a nine-member University Council as the governing body. The Institute is affiliated to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana, the second largest public University in Ghana. To enhance its delivery of quality tertiary education, DLIBT has established partnerships with other universities in Ghana and a number of foreign Universities. The Institute aims at inculcating in each student a high sense of integrity, perseverance, adaptability, and initiative by providing students with opportunities, choices and support that will enable them to achieve their individual aspirations, to become leaders in their chosen fields and to positively impact on the society in which they live.

Data Link Institute of Business and Technology offers Certificate, Diploma, Degree and Post graduate programmes and additionally serves as an accredited Centre for a number of professional programmes. Currently, DLIBT student population stands at about two thousand and the Institute is working towards achieving its strategic objectives by developing ways to engage students and pursuing best-practices that will enhance student experiences.
