Student Reviews
UCC Sandwich Experience
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
The sandwich programmes are non-residential, and students outside Cape Coast are responsible for securing their own accommodation on campus. The time frame for the programme is short and as such online classes are organized on the student portal before face-to-face lessons follows alongside quizs and examination.
