University of Cape Coast - UCC Speciality : Biological Sciences
programme: Molecular Biology and Biotechnology

When I started, I was not so happy because everything seems difficult. In the difficulty I discovered myself. UCC, will reveal your weakness and build you up and make you strong. Life after UCC, became very easy because it prepares you for the pressures outside. What I dislike about UCC, was not enough time to have fun because everyone is serious with their academics. I did enjoy my time there and never regret attending UCC.

My unique experience about University of Cape Coast was “Quiz writing”. Lecturers and professors organize quizzes for students at the middle and end of the semester to fully prepare students for the academic year examination.

Another unique experience about University of Cape Coast was celebration of hall weeks every academic year. The halls engage in a long week celebration which I considered to be fun side of students life in the school.

As an institution, the university has proven itself worthy, severally and in diverse fields as a contributor of the progress of human resources and the development of the nation at large. Not to compare it with other universities, the University of Cape Coast stands out with the products they bring out each year. I really appreciate the zeal, passion and commitment with which the various activities are done on campus, both by faculties and the student body. The kind of discipline with which the institution seeks to groom its students for the outside world is awesome and likely that those who allow themselves to be directed do not find themselves struggling in their various scope of work after school. As a member of the sciences, I did expect the institution to have given us a more hands on practical sessions, exposing us to most practical areas, which wasn’t to my expectations. Also, more educational trips to centers and institutions with works in line of departmental vision needed to have been considered, giving students the way to be well abreast with the nature of outside the classroom and bridging the gap between the classroom and the working field, and positioning students well in fields where they can be readily useful. I will recommend it as an institution for good studies because I may say some of these concerns may have been worked on seeking for the good of the student.

The University of Cape Coast is by far the best university one will be privileged to go to. I like how the university system is structured to help the student take up responsibilities, manage their time to always stay ahead, and, most of all, self-discipline.
