University of Ghana Increases Academic Fees by Over 25% for 2025/26
Students at the University of Ghana are worried about a big rise in academic fees for the 2025/2026 year. The fees have gone up by more than 25 percent in all colleges. University officials have not given an official explanation yet. However, a temporary fee schedule shows big changes for new and returning students.
The adjusted fees posted above.
At the College of Humanities, Level 100 students are expected to pay GH¢3,110 for the 2025/26 academic year, marking a 34 percent increase from the GH¢2,319 charged in the previous year. Continuing students will pay GH¢2,253, up from GH¢1,777, representing a 27 percent rise. Similarly, undergraduate freshers at the University of Ghana School of Law will pay GH¢3,226, a 33 percent increase from GH¢2,435, while continuing law students will see their fees increase from GH¢1,890 to GH¢2,396.
Other colleges, including Health Sciences, Basic and Applied Sciences, and Education, have also recorded fee increments ranging between 25 and 35 percent. The revised structure reveals a sharp rise in third-party charges, which have increased from GH¢255 in the 2024/25 academic year to GH¢767 for fresh students and GH¢455 for continuing students.
The development has sparked dissatisfaction among students and parents, who are calling on university management to provide clearer justification for the increases amid concerns over the growing financial burden.
