The Methodist University Ghana (MUG) invites applications from qualified applicants for admission into its Postgraduate, Undergraduate, Diploma, and Certificate Programs. MUG is one of the newest comprehensive institutions of higher education in Ghana, which was established in 1998 and has already gained international reputation as a center of excellence.
The origins of the Methodist University Ghana can be traced back to 1998, when the Methodist Church in Ghana held its 37th Annual Conference in Sunyani and decided to establish a Methodist University College. After due preparations and processes, the Methodist University College Ghana (MUCG) was granted accreditation by the National Accreditation Board (NAB) in August 2000. Its application for affiliation to the University of Ghana was approved in October 2002. MUCG started academic work in October 2000. The first batch of students reported for lectures in November 2000 and the second batch in October 2001. The university is now accepting a new batch for 2025.
In the 1990s, Ghana had only four state Universities: University of Ghana, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, University of Cape Coast, and University of Education, Winneba. With a growing population, access to these universities became limited, do there was considerable concern about the inadequacy of institutional facilities in the state universities to cater for qualified candidates who wished to avail themselves of the opportunity for tertiary education. The Methodist Church Ghana was convinced that with her unique record and experience in the provision of education at the levels of basic, secondary and colleges for teacher education, it could make a contribution to the solution of the problems of offering education at all levels.
