The University for Development Studies has fixed the cost of its application forms for enrollment into the institution for local undergraduate students at GHC 180.00 for the 2019/2020 academic year.
The cost of application forms for local undergraduate students have remained unchanged since the 2016/2017 academic year.
Foreign applicants are to make an online payment of $100.00 with a Master Card or Visa Card for voucher before they can apply.
In comparison with the University of Ghana, University of Cape Coast and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, which are considered to be the nation’s biggest public universities, UDS’ cost for application forms is the cheapest.
Government to introduce centralized admissions system into tertiary institutions
The Minister of State in charge of Tertiary Education, Prof. Kwesi Yankah, at a workshop held in January 2019 in Koforidua hinted on government’s plan to introduce a placement system for admission into tertiary institutions in Ghana.
The Centralized University Admissions and Placement Service (CAPS) is to replace the current stressful and expensive system of applying to different universities.
Prof. Kwesi Yankah explained that the decision by government was influenced by a proposal received from a nine-member committee chaired by Professor Cliff Tagoe in the Tertiary Education Policy Document submitted on November 1, 2018 to the Ministry of Education.
“It is the proposal for a Centralised University Admissions and Placement Service (CAPS), which replaces the stressful and rather expensive system of applying to separate universities in Ghana with a centralised system, where the applicants list their choices of university on a single platform.
“A central administrative and technical setup then facilitates the process of placement,” the committee said.
