The Office of Research, Innovation and Development (ORID) is the research arm of the University of Ghana (UG), with the mandate to promote a vibrant research environment and develop strategic partnerships to advance scholarship. Since 2010, ORID has managed the UG research enterprise, facilitating grantsmanship and supporting researchers and multi-disciplinary teams. UG’s research aims to address knowledge gaps and consolidate research outcomes for greater impact.
University of Ghana students come from across Ghana, Africa and throughout the world, representing diverse perspectives, experiences, backgrounds and cultures. Through the Students Financial Aid Office (SFAO), the university makes every effort to provide financial aid to qualified Ghanaian undergraduate applicants with limited finances.
UG through the Office of International Programmes encourages participation of international students through direct enrollment and exchange programmes. At present, international students number close to 1,500 students, drawn from over 71 countries.
