The 2022 AD Scientific Index, which has more focus on the biophysical sciences, places the University of Ghana as first in Ghana, 15th out of the 2,049 universities in Africa, and at 1,704 out of 14,284 universities surveyed globally.
Both Webometrics and the AD Scientific Index rank institutions based on their performance across standard indicators of excellence. These include the quality of education, the quality of faculties within an individual university, international collaborations, the number of highly cited researchers selected by Clarivate Analytics, the total number of research in the Science Citation Index-Expanded and Social Science Citation Index, as well as the number of research articles receiving a high number of citations among others.
In another development, the QS World University Rankings, in its 2022 ranking, has classified the University of Ghana as one of the 20 best universities in Africa. By this, UG becomes the only University in West Africa to be so classified. The list compiled by QS World University Rankings was based on six key ranking indicators; namely academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty-student ratio, citations per faculty, international faculty ratio and international student ratio.
Congratulations on these achievements to Faculty, Graduate Students and all other members of the University community who continue to uplift the presence of the University of Ghana in Ghana, Africa, and the world through their hard work and commitment to academic excellence.
