● Dean's Welcome

Training Allied Health Professionals Committed to Excellence

The School of Allied Health Sciences was established in May 2015 with a clear mandate: to produce allied health practitioners and researchers who are motivated to maintain excellence in all aspects of healthcare delivery. A decade on, that mandate has never been more relevant or more urgent.

Our eight departments span the breadth of allied health — from medical laboratory science and optometry to clinical nutrition, sport science, physician assistant studies and beyond. Each department offers curricula designed not just for Ghana, but for a changing world that demands competent, ethical and innovative health professionals.
