UG Legon Postgraduate Sandwich Admission Form 2024/2025 – The University of Ghana (UG) postgraduate sandwich/modular admissions for the 2024/2025 academic year has commenced.
LATEST UPDATE:Â As of the time of publication, the University of Ghana (UG) mature access form for the 2024/2025 academic year is not yet out. This post is intended to serve as a guide to prospective applicants.
It is announced for the information of prospective applicants and the general public that the School of Graduate Studies is offering the under-listed sandwich/modular programmes, leading to the award of Master of Arts and Master of Science Degrees.
Due to changes in the academic calendar for the 2024/2025 academic year, the programmes will be run virtually during the inter-semester break, from April to June 2021. Each cohort of admitted students on these programmes will, therefore, study over two long vacation periods to obtain the equivalence of one academic year (or two semesters).
