UPSA Opens Admissions for 2026/2027 Academic Year
The University of Professional Studies Accra (UPSA) has officially opened its admissions portal for the 2026/2027 academic year, inviting applications from qualified candidates seeking entry into its postgraduate, undergraduate, and diploma programmes.
In a statement released on Saturday, April 4, 2026, prospective applicants were urged to carefully review all admission guidelines and programme requirements before beginning the application process. The University emphasized the importance of adhering strictly to instructions to ensure successful submission.
UPSA continues to expand its academic offerings with a range of flagship undergraduate programmes, including degrees in Applied Statistics, Data Science and Analytics, Communication Studies, Logistics and Transport Management, Real Estate Management and Finance, Business Economics, Actuarial Science, and Law (LLB). Applicants interested in Accounting are advised to apply specifically for Bachelor of Science in Accounting or Accounting and Finance, as the Bachelor of Business Administration programme no longer offers specialization options.
At the postgraduate level, the University has introduced several new programmes across diverse fields. These include specialized LLM programmes in Competition and Consumer Protection Law, Natural Resources and Climate Change Law, and International Business and Commercial Law. Other additions span disciplines such as Digital Marketing, Media and Communication Management, Information Systems, Applied Statistics, and various MBA, MPhil, and PhD programmes.
The University has also outlined available study sessions. Regular undergraduate sessions are limited to Level 100 applicants, while evening and weekend options are open to Level 100, 200, and 300 applicants. Diploma programmes are available across all sessions.
Candidates awaiting results from WASSCE, GBCE, or ABCE examinations scheduled for May/June 2026 are eligible to apply, provided they supply their index numbers and subject details. UPSA graduates, including those expected to complete their studies in September 2026, are required to include their student ID numbers during application.
Overview of the 2026/2027 Academic Year Admission
Mature applicants are instructed to complete an additional registration process at the Admissions Office after submitting their online forms. The University also cautioned applicants against engaging with unauthorized individuals who claim to facilitate admission for a fee, stressing that its admission process remains transparent and merit-based.
All applications must be submitted online after purchasing the UPSA Online Serial Number (OSN). Applicants are further advised that changes to selected programmes will not be permitted once submissions have been made.
The University announced varying deadlines for different categories of applicants, including postgraduate, undergraduate, mature, and law programmes, with some dates yet to be confirmed.
