The University of Ghana is a public university located in Accra,[3] Ghana. It is the oldest public university in Ghana.

The university was founded in 1948 [4] as the University College of the Gold Coast[5][6] in the British colony of the Gold Coast. It was originally an affiliate college of the University of London,[7] which supervised its academic programs and awarded degrees.[8] After Ghana gained independence in 1957, the college was renamed the University College of Ghana.[9] It changed it name again to the University of Ghana in 1961, when it gained full university status.[10]

The University of Ghana is situated on the west side of the Accra Legon Hills and northeast of the centre of Accra. It has over 60,000 registered students.[7]
