A Brief History of Regent University
The Regent University College of Science and Technology (elsewhere referred to as Regent-Ghana) is located in Accra, Ghana. It was registered in September 2003 as a company limited by guarantee. It received accreditation to operate as a tertiary institution in 2004, and in January 2005, it started its maiden lectures with about 30 pioneer students at its maiden campus, the Trinity Campus, Mataheko. Currently, it has three other satellite campuses, located at Dansoman, Lartebiorkoshie, and Graphic Road. Plans are underway to construct its purpose-built, main campus at the McCarthy Hill.
The University College now has three Schools, namely, the School of Business and Economics (SBE), the School of Informatics and Engineering (SIE), and the School of Research and Graduate Studies (SRGS). The School of Research and Graduate Studies currently offers four postgraduate degree programmes, namely, Master of Business Administration (MBA), Master of Science in Statistics, Master of Divinity, and Master of Theology. The MBA programme is jointly offered by Regent University College and the Maastricht School of Management. The School of Research and Graduate Studies provides oversight to all postgraduate programmes. There is also the Language Centre and a newly established Centre for Academic Writing. A number of interdisciplinary programmes cross the boundaries between schools and disciplines.
Locally, Regent-Ghana is currently affiliated to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology and the Trinity Theological Seminary. Its international partners are Deggendorf University of Applied Sciences, (Germany), Lulea University of Technology (Sweden), Acadia University (Canada), Wheelock College (USA), University of Applied Sciences, Umwelt Campus, Birkenfeld, Germany. Regent University is also a member of the Conference for Heads of Private Universities, Ghana.
The mission of Regent-Ghana is to produce purpose-driven human resource, committed to socio-economic and spiritual renewal, with science and technology expertise in a competitive global environment. The University community shares in the vision of the founder and president of the Regent University College of Science and Technology, Prof. E. Kingsley Larbi, to establish and maintain one of the leading, and finest institutions in the world.
It is dedicated to seeing every member of faculty, staff, and alumni of the University to be committed to socio-economic and spiritual renewal. This understanding informs and fashions the investment we make into our students, faculty, and supporting staff. Motivated by a dedicated and visionary leadership, ICT-driven curricula, and Christian ethical values, we aim at preparing our students to be fully prepared to effectively spearhead national and industrial development anywhere in the global community.
The Principal governing body of the University is the University Council. Authority in purely academic matters lies with the Senate (Senatus Academicus). The Regent Ghana Students' Union (RGSU) provides a variety of services and facilities for the student population. The RGSU executives and parliament represent students on various committees and organizations both within and without the University.
