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.’

Today UCC is divided into several colleges, which are themselves further organised into schools, and further departments. The colleges are; the College of Agriculture and Natural Sciences (CANS), the College of Distance Education (CoDE), the College of Humanities and Legal Studies (CHLS), the College of Health & Allied Sciences (CoHAS), the School of Graduate Studies and Research, and the Centre for International Education.Show more

    Effective studies

    This university is one of the best in my country. There are a lot of things I like about the school but the best among the rest is the fact that classes are very effective.
    One thing I dislike is how late lectures can delay lessons. Sometimes it’s too dangerous due to safety reasons.

    University campus experience and student life

    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.

    An outstanding learning experience

    1._Strong reputation, especially for research and in the region
    _•_UCC has been ranked 1 in Ghana and 1 in West Africa in the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings
    2.Like many institutions in developing contexts, even with strong ambition and ranking, UCC may face challenges typical of Ghanaian universities: large class sizes, resource constraints, varying infrastructure
