Unique, amazing, and life-changing Ghana

Welcome to Ghana! Located on the western coast of Africa in the Gulf of Guinea, this former British colony is the first sub-Saharan African nation to achieve independence from colonial rule. Today it is one of the most peaceful and politically stable countries in Africa. Situated just a few degrees north of the Equator, Ghana’s tropical climate not only lends itself to growing cocoa, pineapples and coffee beans, but also as a warm destination for ISEP students desiring a truly unique experience living in a developing country.

Come study for a semester or year in Accra, Legon at the University of Ghana and leave your watch behind. You will undoubtedly feel welcome within the heart of this laid-back culture, known for its friendly people and relaxed attitude toward the concept of time.
