University of Ghana
The University of Ghana is the country's oldest and largest public university. It is one of thirteen national public institutions in Ghana. It was initially an affiliate college of the University of London, which oversaw its academic programs and conferred degrees. It was formed in 1948 in the British colony of the Gold Coast as the University College of the Gold Coast. The university was renamed the University College of Ghana when Ghana gained independence in 1957. When it was granted full university status in 1961, it renamed itself the University of Ghana. The University of Ghana, which is located on the west side of the Accra Legon hills and northeast of the city center, today has over 40,000 registered students and different schools, institutes, colleges, and departments.
In addition to bachelor's degrees, the University of Ghana provides pre-degrees bachelor's (such as diplomas, certificates, and associate's degrees) and postgraduate degrees (such as master's degrees and doctoral degrees) in a variety of subjects. Housing, sports facilities, a state-of-the-art library, administrative services, online and remote learning possibilities, scholarships, and other financial assistance programs are among the academic and non-academic buildings, structures, and services provided by the University of Ghana.
