Ghana is one of the hottest educational hubs in Africa and has several universities, both private and public offering numerous courses. To gain admission into any university in Ghana, you must have a WASSCE certificate or a NOVDEC certification with the required pass marks.
Furthermore, two primary elements must be taken into consideration when choosing a university to enhance one’s education.
The first is the skill you wish to develop, and the second is your financial stability given that every university has different tuition rates.
The public and private universities in Ghana each have their own specific programs and tuition costs.
In contrast to private colleges, which are owned by individuals, groups, or corporations with the goal of providing the greatest education to local students from Ghana as well as international students, public universities are managed by the government.
You can read about public and private institutions and their associated tuition costs in this article.
