Regent University College of Science and Technology

What Regent University College of Science and Technology does

Regent University College of Science and Technology is a private, founder-led university college in Accra, Ghana, registered in September 2003 and operating from a purpose-built campus at McCarthy Hill. It delivers tertiary education through four schools — School of Business, Leadership and Legal Studies; Faculty of Arts and Sciences; Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Allied Sciences; and the School of Research and Graduate Studies — offering 18 programmes spanning undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, and certificate levels in computing, engineering, business, theology, psychology, statistics, law, and sustainability. International student intake is supported, with fees differentiated roughly 2–3x above Ghanaian domestic rates.

The core learning infrastructure consists of on-campus lecture delivery at the McCarthy Hill campus supplemented by the Cybercampus e-learning platform, which handles assignments, course materials, and student appraisal of lecturers. Practical-science capacity was materially expanded in November 2023 with the launch of state-of-the-art science laboratories and an IT Center in partnership with PAVON Centre. Vendor partnerships with Huawei ICT Academy, ITU, and international universities (JAIN University, Girne American University, KNUST, Eastern Illinois University) provide ICT certification, spectrum-management training, and academic exchange pathways.

The business model is tuition-driven: Ghanaian undergraduates pay GHS 2,044.90–3,555.20 per semester, international undergraduates pay GHS 5,082–8,247.25 per semester, postgraduate programmes are a flat GHS 28,000, and ancillary application and service fees (GHS 100–390 for applications, GHS 40–200 for transcripts, resits, and attestations) supplement tuition. A new GHC 1,000 AI Practitioner certificate course targets working professionals across Africa. Marketing is conducted via the official website, newsroom, campus events (Innovation and Career Readiness Week, admissions sessions), and direct admissions channels including a Paystack-integrated online application portal. Ownership remains with founder and Chancellor Rev. Prof. Emmanuel Kingsley Larbi, with no disclosed external equity, and the university is governed by a University Council chaired by Dr. Ashimizo Afadameh-Adeyemi.

• Ghana Christian University College: Private faith-based university college in Accra offering theology, business, and education programmes. Smaller-scope peer with overlapping mission and similar positioning in Ghana's private higher education market.
• Wisconsin International University College, Ghana: Private Ghanaian university with strong business, IT, and communications programmes and an international brand affiliation. Directly competes with Regent for working-professional and undergraduate students in Accra, particularly in business and ICT.
