International Student Exchange Program
The ISEP Network has operated in the University of Ghana with a Resident Director (Mrs Theresa Kwakye) and a Program Assistant (Mrs Eleanor Kumahia). ISEP has over the years that it has been in partnership with UG, awarded scholarships to several Graduate Students and Phd. candidates to do a year’s study abroad in various schools in the United States of America. During the 2011/2012 Academic year however, it introduced the Self sponsored study abroad to the United States for Undergraduate students who are eligible. UG in one of its steps to improve on international standards, entered into another agreement with ISEP: the International – to – International (I-I) program, where students can now apply to other universities in the world that are in the ISEP network. This means that UG students can now apply through ISEP to do a semester/year exchange in any university of their choice* in the ISEP network other than the US.
