Global Education in the Heart of West Africa
Located in Accra, a fast-growing regional hub for business, technology, and hospitality, RIUC places students at the centre of opportunity.
The city offers access to thriving industries, diverse cultural experiences, and a dynamic student lifestyle - all while remaining more affordable than many traditional international study destinations.
Renowned for its hospitality, Ghana provides a safe and friendly environment where international students can live, study, and explore with confidence.
For international students seeking quality education, global exposure, and excellent value, Rosebank International University College and Ghana offer a truly rewarding study experience.
Immigration Regulations and Regularisation
Non-Ghanaian (International) Students are required by Ghanaian law to obtain a resident permit to enable a peaceful stay throughout the length of their study.
RIUC's Admissions Office helps Non-Ghanaian students maintain a legal immigration status.
We provide support to regularise Non-Citizenship Ghana Cards and Residence Permits.
To register for a Non-Citizen Identity Card, visit a Foreigner Identification Management System (FIMS) registration centre with a valid passport and a copy of admissions letter.
Kindly note that the Non–Citizen Card is a mandatory requirement from the Government of Ghana. It shall be used for all transactions that require identification.
Foreign nationals who do not have this card will be unable to apply for a Residence Permit, register SIM cards, open bank accounts, acquire driver’s license or even have access to some essential services in the country.
