The University of Cape Coast – or UCC – in Ghana started out in 1962 as a solution to the serious shortage of skilled workers in Ghanaian education. There were 2 other public institutions which, at the time, were not able to train the staff needed for teacher training colleges and technical institutions. UCC satisfied this necessity. Now, it is a prestigious public research university in the Central Region of the Republic of Ghana. Its motto is ‘Veritas Nobis Lumen,’ meaning ‘Truth, Our Guide.’Show more
My first University experience at the University of Cape Coast (UCC) was challenging especially in academics. This was as a result of the academic competitiveness the school offers. As a student, the environment encouraged discipline, independence, and a strong commitment to learning.
One of the things I liked most about the university was the academic structure and quality of teaching. The curriculum was well-organized to include extracurricular activities. There were more emphasis on academic integrity, critical thinking and skills that are essential in the professional world.
I enjoyed the sense of community, with students from different backgrounds coming together through group studies, student associations, religious groups, and extracurricular activities. The campus itself is serene and conducive to learning, with green spaces that create a calm atmosphere despite academic pressure.
One of the biggest challenges is on-canpus housing and accommodation. The school does not have enough accommodation to accommodate its students and as a result, students are forced to find their own accommodation at a higher cost. And also, the connectivity of lecture theatres are very low. Students have to walk to and fro to attend lectures in the case of having different lectures at different theatres.
Overall, what compells me to choose University of Cape Coast to other universities in Ghana is the academic integrity it offers.
