Tertiary Institutions

Name: Ghana Tertiary Institutions
Creator: Ghana Tertiary Education Commission

Every tertiary institution the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission lists in its institutional categories, as retrieved on 2026-09-26: 318 institutions in 16 categories (traditional and technical universities, chartered and other private tertiary institutions, colleges of education, nursing and health training colleges, tutorial colleges and others), one row each, with the town GTEC gives, GTEC's status and the institution's accreditation start and end dates. Universities that accredit under their own charter usually have no dates, and those are empty. GTEC publishes no region, district or website for an institution, so none is given. gtec_institution_id links to tertiary_programmes. Sourced from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), published by GTEC (no licence stated). 318 records.
