Ghana
We have been welcoming students from Ghana since 1926 and currently have an active Alumni Association of Ghana.
In 2000 the President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Flight Lieutenant Jerry John Rawlings, received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University during his visit to Britain.
The University of Glasgow also has links with H.R.H. Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the King of Asanti. The University awarded the King with an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Furthermore, former Vice-Principal Professor Malcolm McLeod has been asked by the King to help create a new museum at the Palace in Kumasi and visits Ghana regularly.
Glasgow is Scotland’s largest city and is home to the largest student population in Scotland. Glaswegians’ reputation for friendliness means that wherever you come from, it's easy to treat the city as your second home. Glasgow is an official Unesco ‘City of Music’ and also has more parks than any other city in Europe.
