University of Ghana - UG Speciality : Sociology
programme: Social Work

As a Social work student, Social work broadens the scope of thinking. Personally, Social work introduced me to the various aspects of the human society with snippets from the economy, the law et cetera. The University of Ghana offers students the chance to live together on campus with very different caliber of people while studying. Living with people from different walks of life throughout the semester taught me to be patient, tolerant and open minded. The classes taught me discipline as some classes begin as early as 7:30am. The professors have also taught me to wring out the best of my brain in all I do since being nurtured for the future is not all about having book knowledge but the ability if think critically. The highs and lows which are inevitable have taught me a lot about life in general and given me a firm base in preparation for future endeavors and adventures yet to be imbued.

University of Ghana is really nice,conducive learning environment. The lecturers do their very best. The online lectures are convenient as well.Just that the international students fees are really overpriced and the hostel fees too.

The course is an interesting one and quite relatable. However, the job market after in the country is not too encouraging. In my own opinion, I would say before the social work profession started gaining its popularity, the chiefs, queen mothers and the family system seemed to have been addressing some of the issues that social workers are being trained to understand and help in solving. Due to the former, the growth of the profession has been slow.
