University of Ghana - UG
speciality: Politics

University of Ghana is one of the best universities in west Africa and it best known for producing the best students in Ghana and also grooming the best alumni. My time at the university of Ghana was the best part of life and I would recommend to anyone interested in studying in Africa.

Studying at the University of Ghana, Legon, is honestly an experience on its own. The campus is huge, very green, and super calm and you’ll always find a nice spot under a tree to relax or study. The Balme Library is one of the most popular landmarks, and it’s perfect for both serious study time and group discussions. Not to talk of the gorgeous fountain square behind the library that offers a serene atmosphere when passing through to class.
Academics here are solid. There are plenty of programs to choose from, and most of the lecturers really know their stuff and are always ready to help students with whatever problems they face; their offices are always open to students. Some courses can be challenging, but that’s part of the UG experience. What I like most is that the school pushes you to think for yourself and be creative, not just memorize notes. What I dislike is the lack of adequate accommodation on campus. The student population is huge yet the number of hostels does not reflect that. However, there are lots of options for accommodation outside the campus itself.
Outside the classroom, life at UG is lively. There are countless student groups, events( you have got to experience Pent Hall Week at least once in your life ), and sports activities, so it’s easy to make friends and find what you enjoy. The cultural diversity on campus also makes it a very welcoming place with people from all parts of Ghana, international students from other African countries and other continents. UG, has been fun, UG is fun even through all the highs and lows, I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but here.

Studying Political Science and Religion at the University of Ghana was a transformative experience that gave me a deeper understanding of both governance systems and the complex role of religion in society. The interdisciplinary nature of my program encouraged critical thinking and broadened my worldview, especially within the African and global context.

Lecturers in both departments were passionate, well-versed in their fields, and often encouraged open dialogue during class sessions. I particularly appreciated how courses in political theory, African politics, religious ethics, and interfaith dialogue complemented each other and offered practical insights into current societal issues.

The academic structure allowed for flexibility and intellectual exploration, and the campus provided a vibrant environment for learning and leadership development. I benefited from student forums, guest lectures, and departmental seminars that challenged me to think critically and engage in policy and religious discourse.

One area for improvement would be streamlining administrative processes, especially with course registration and accessing transcripts. Also, some lecture halls and facilities could be upgraded to match the evolving academic needs of students.

Nonetheless, I highly recommend the University of Ghana for anyone interested in Political Science, Religion, or any field that values critical inquiry, cultural diversity, and academic excellence. It provided a solid foundation for both my intellectual growth and professional journey.

The best thing about my university is it gives you a chance to find yourself and meet amazing people.

I was really ecstatic to be a resident student at University of Ghana. At 16 years, I was enrolled at the university and did not know how to manage this newly found independence. There were lots of parties and clubs happening at the university. However, I had to teach myself control and time management in order to avoid being swept up in all the excitement.
Also, I was very particular about the type of friends I kept. I made sure I surrounded myself with friends who were focused and responsible. A key highlight of my university experience was the group studies I organized with my friends. This played a key role in my academic excellence.

The university provides quality education with knowledgeable professors and good facilities. The campus environment is welcoming, and there are many opportunities for growth. I would recommend it to others

My experience at the University of Ghana was a great one. I got to meet people from different background and experienced diverse cultures, the University helped shape my way of thinking and behaving.
