Every programme the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission lists for the institutions in tertiary_institutions, as retrieved on 2026-09-26: 3778 programmes, one row per programme and award (for example BSc, MPhil, HND, Diploma), with the duration in years, GTEC's status and the programme's accreditation start and end dates (starts from 2018-09-01 to 2030-09-01). A programme whose accreditation has lapsed keeps whatever status GTEC gives it. 78 institutions list no programmes. Durations GTEC writes as something other than a number are kept in duration_as_published. GTEC's own lists repeat a few programmes word for word (37 institution, award, programme and start-date combinations); those repeats are kept as published. Sourced from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), published by GTEC (no licence stated). 3778 records.
