UG Retained As Topmost University In Ghana and West Africa
The QS World University Rankings 2026 has, for the second time in a row, named the University of Ghana (UG) as the topmost University in Ghana and the West African sub-region.
It follows the institution’s ranking in the inaugural Times Higher Education (THE) Interdisciplinary Science Rankings 2025, placing first in Ghana, second in West Africa, and achieving an excellent global position.
Announcing the latest news in a statement, the University said the global placement reflects the progress made through the University’s strong commitment to the implementation of the five strategic priorities outlined in its 2024–2029 Strategic Plan.
It characterised the latest ranking as a confidence booster for the University to continue to deepen investments in faculty and staff development, teaching and learning infrastructure and global engagement strategies as part of its broader efforts to enhance the academic environment, strengthen its international profile and achieve its vision.
It credited the entire university community for these strides, adding that they demonstrate UG’s pursuit of academic distinction, research that drives impact and meaningful global engagement.
“These accomplishments advance the transformation of higher education in Ghana and the broader West African region and contribute to the sustainable development of Africa.”
