University of Ghana - UG Speciality : Psychology
programme: Psychology

The university lives up to its name. I fully recommend it because aside from its obvious academic strengths – here at UG lecturers not only lecture, they teach – the social life of the school prepares students for the outside world. This and many more is why I can boldly state that at the end of the degree you choose to pursue, you’d graduate a well rounded individual.

Getting admitted was not difficult because I was present at the time. And when COVID hit, they tried their best to change their teaching strategy.
As an international student, I didn’t get to experience a graduation party, but I did have a wonderful experience.

This university is great, I love the fact that candidates are given the opportunity to voice out reviews of theirs and that of other schools. And I would very much appreciate it if I’m given the chance to guide others in this journey.

University of Ghana has set it marks up over the years,when it comes to quality tertiary education in the country.I personally laud them for the alumni – student relationship that exist in the school digital society and on campus.I would also laud them for their innovative ideas on bringing about solutions to most of the problems of the student body by liaison with the student leaders, which brings about adequate solutions to our problems.
Aside some issues of incapacitation in the hostels and other student facilities, University of Ghana stands out among it’s competitor universities .

Life on the Annex Campus of the University of Ghana, Accra City Campus was quiet challenging, especially when students would have to commute from the main campus to write exams or partake in a lecture. If the school secured a place in close proximity so that those who were posted to Accra city campus will not have to go through the hustle of everyday avoiding a two hours traffic jam just so they are not late or miss an educational session I believe it will reduce student stress and allow us focus. For me it was a very huge challenge and I never got the hang of it.

I loved my classes and most of my professors. with my program, I’m still on the general education track so I have not really delved into my actual program. The school is okay. I’d recommend it based on your selected program like accounting or business because I heard they’re perfect for those. Student life is also generally okay. The school is international to a small extent. As it is a predominantly white school, international students aren’t a lot but yeah there is some diversity.

Psychology is a very broad course. When I first started studying the course I knew it was interesting and therefore I was in for a heavy workload but it is beyond heavy. It is really interesting though. As I’m progressing with this study I have learned to be open-minded during my interactions with people. Also, studying a course like this has been a turning point for me because it has required an introvert like myself to break boundaries and interact with people. The lecturers and the TAs have been very helpful. Overall studying psychology at the University has taught me social skills and other basic skills I would eventually need in the corporate world and life.

Practical experience. The University of Ghana gave me hands on experience training in my field of study. We did both practical and theory. Academics coupled with social life made learning interesting.

Lectures were interactive, group studies and presentations allowed for more student participation in class. Examinations were based on what was studied in a semester.
Resources are readily available for students. Internet connectivity is good. Reading rooms and libraries are always open to students and non students.
