It is with immense pleasure and a sense of great responsibility that I welcome you to the University of Ghana’s Department of Distance Education.

Our department has a rich history of academic excellence and a commitment to innovation, research and education. We take pride in our pursuit of knowledge and our contribution to the broader academic community. It is our fervent hope that we continue to provide students with valuable insights into who we are and what we stand for.
At the Department of Distance Education, we are driven by a shared vision of becoming a global leader in the provision of accessible and innovative technology-mediated learning and bridging the gap between learners and knowledge. We aim to among other things, widen access to the University’s academic programmes through the adoption of technology, offer marketable academic programmes, leverage cutting-edge educational technology, and provide robust student support systems to maintain high throughput and graduation rates among our learners.
May I seize this opportunity to encourage you to explore the various sections of our website, get to know our team, and stay updated on the latest news and developments in our department. We are committed to participatory transactions, transparency and engagement, so we welcome your feedback and suggestions to help us continually improve upon our services and ultimately our students’ learning experiences.
I am confident that by being enrolled in our Department, you will not only receive a world-class education but also become part of a supportive and dynamic academic family. Together, we will shape the future of Open and Distance Learning and make a positive impact on society. Thank you for being a part of our academic community.
