Choosing Courses at the University of Ghana

Because of the large number of students enrolled at the University of Ghana and the availability of spaces to take exams, the University has had to devise a system for taking courses which allows sufficient time for scheduling exams for all classes offered in the term. This will mean you will be limited to the subjects of courses you will take.
