Diane Esi Kaye of Lancaster University Ghana |
My name is Diane Esi Kaye, I'm a Ghanaian and an alumna of Wesley Girls High school. My life in Lancaster University Ghana started in the year 2014. During my entire foundation year, I made it onto the Provost’s List three consecutive times and was awarded with certificates and dinners each time.
Also in my foundation year, I undertook a project with a few of my mates to help the less privileged specially the homeless by organizing a charity bazaar to help raise funds for them, this was done hand in hand with an organization which helps take care of destitute children on the street.

"The best aspect of studying in Lancaster University Ghana is the fact that it's not a chew, pour and pass sort of institution but one that encourages students to do in-depth learning by forming their own opinions, to not be afraid to write a paper concerning issues in the country. I study Law and there is always a practical approach to what we are taught in class" - Diane Esi Kaye, LLB Law '18.
During my first summer vacation, I interned in the legal department at Cal Bank and then had the privilege afforded as by Lancaster University to see what life is like on the Lancaster UK campus for 3 weeks. It was an eye opening experience for me as I got to meet so many people from diverse backgrounds mostly from China, Russia, Malaysia, UK, India and Nigeria. It was so fun, parties on campus, karaoke nights, three days in London touring the vibrant city. Going around organizations in Lancashire and shopping trips in Manchester and not to forget the amusement park that I thought I would nearly die on the rides.
Some students from Lancaster UK also came to see what life in Lancaster University Ghana was like for 3 weeks. We took them sightseeing to some of the best places in Ghana, clubbing, going for field trips in companies like Coca Cola, Scanad, the pineapple farm to mention a few. And a weekend at Coconut Groove Hotel.
They really enjoyed their time and so did I because these were also a set of different people from all around the world. This also served as an internship opportunity for me with LUG Student Life Office and I got paid handsomely for it.
Why did you choose Lancaster University Ghana (LUG) and what is the best aspect of studying with LUG?
I chose Lancaster University Ghana for its globally recognized UK degree certificate and the quality of teaching and learning The best aspect of studying in Lancaster is the fact that it's not a chew, pour pass sort of institution but one that encourages students to do in-depth learning by forming their own opinions, to not be afraid to write a paper concerning issues in the country. I study Law and there is always a practical approach to what we are taught in class. Field trips to Nsawam prisons, the court etc. helps us to know the effect of the law and the power we have as future lawyers to serve justice.
What’s best about the social life at Lancaster?
The best aspect about the social life on campus is that since it is a small campus everyone knows everyone and so it’s like a family. The student life office is always open to take suggestions about ways to better our social life and the SRC takes active steps to make school fun like organizing parties, trips to the beach, Halloween nights, Christmas carols night, guest lectures etc. and the annual law dinner everyone looks forward to. The school is also in a location that gives students easy access to shopping centers, restaurants, gyms etc. Life
How does Lancaster University Ghana provide you with support, advice and guidance?
Lancaster offers students guidance and counselling by first of all having a school counsellor to help with whatever problems you might be facing. Lecturers have flexible office hours for students to drop by, and if you have a fear of talking to lectures there are student tutors to help you.
