Student review [#24912] for Sociology
at University of Ghana - UG

I pursued my BA in Sociology at UG and the program was great! UG has required courses such as Academic Writing, Science and technology, and Numeracy Skills that supplemented my main program. These courses equipped with me sharp writing skills but also opened my mind to efficiently engage in my sociology program. There are many groups on campus that provide students with practical experience. Student groups provide peer counselling, advocate for sexual human rights, and organize educational trips, among others. These experiences spice up student lives on Campus and they broaden your scope beyond the classroom knowledge.
However, there is one thing that can be done to improve the student experience at UG. There is not much engagement between lecturers and students. What I mean is that there seems to be a big gap between students and lecturers such that most students are unable to reach out to them. I think there should be departmental informal socialization once a week where students and lecturers can sit to chat informally and maybe have some finger foods and drinks. This can break the barrier between students and lecturers.
