THE GRADUATE SCHOOL

The Graduate School is responsible for coordination of Graduate Studies in the University and functions under the auspices of a Board of Graduate Studies. The School is headed by a Dean who is appointed by the Vice-Chancellor on the recommendation of the Executive Committee. The School started first as a Postgraduate Centre in 2004 and was initially located at the Navrongo Campus of the University for Development Studies. It had only one programme running at the time of its inception, that is, MPhil. Development Studies, until in 2008 when additional programmes were introduced as shown below (see graduate programmes). It was relocated to the old Central Administration Block, Tamale in March 2009 after it obtained the status of a School.
