Lancaster University Ghana (reviews)

I studied Law at Lancaster University Ghana. What I liked about the program is how it is structured. For instance there are 10 weeks total in a semester and each week has it’s own topic. The slides are properly done and it’s delivery to students is perfect. Under each week on module, there is a topic attached and a reading list is made available to students in order to prep them for the delivery of the course. Debates and moots are also conducted so that students can experience the practical aspects of their course. The assessment system is really flexible and does not overwhelm students. The teachers are really welcoming making it possible for the existence of a healthy teacher/student relationship. The teachers have an appreciable and excellent knowledge of each course they undertake and perfectly delivers them to students. They always allow student to ask question on any particular area of law they find difficult during the teaching process.There is an existence of academic tutorship where each student is assigned a particular lecturer to guide them throughout their academics every semester or year. There are existence of various extracurricular activities which students can engage in to broaden their knowledge and experience. On the negative part, the school is located at a dead end which makes student life difficult. I think the school should improve on their hostel accommodation process because the current living state of students is filled with complaints. For the student life at Lancaster University Ghana, I will rate it as ‘good’ and will at any time recommend it to others. The school is also very international in my opinion. This is because the members forming the school community is made up of different individuals from different countries including Ghana, Nigeria, Togo, Sudan, China, UK, US etc. My experience at Lancaster Gh was really fun. I engaged in a lot of activities like career fairs, academic skills workshop, a member of drama club, a member of law society. Participated in disability awareness camping, engage in a project management where I and my group raised money and paid the hospital bill of some patients at Korle-bu teaching hospital who couldn’t afford the payment and this was denied treatment. I was the course rep for some of my courses and I also conducted student council elections twice; the first time was when I was the deputy electoral commission during the LUGSC 2019/2020 and also when I became the chairperson of the Electoral Commission during the 2020/2021 student council election. In general my experience at Lancaster was fun, interesting and excellent.
