About Winneba Campus

The Winneba campus, which is the seat of the Vice-Chancellor has three different sites – North, Central and South campuses and over 40 Distance Education Study Centres working to bring quality education closer to the doorsteps of Ghanaians.

Until 2013, UEW had three key Research Centres – Centre for School and Community Science and Technology Studies (SACOST); National Centre for Research into Basic Education (NCRIBE); and Centre for Educational Policy Studies (CEPS) – which conducted research into the practice of basic education, education management and leadership, contributing to educational policies and development at the institutional and national levels.

To strengthen further our research activities for the promotion of educational policies and development, the three Research Centres have since 2013 been merged into a vibrant research Institute known as the Institute for Educational Research and Innovation Studies (IERIS).

There are other thriving Research Centres such as Centre for Conflict, Human Rights and Peace Studies and Centre for Competence-Based Training and Research which research activities are pushing the frontiers of academia and society.
