A social media user has sparked debate online after raising concerns about how the University of Ghana allocated programmes to some admitted applicants in the 2026 intake.

In a post shared on X on September 17, 2026, the user expressed frustration on behalf of a student who had applied for Medical Laboratory Science but was instead offered a place in Archaeology and Heritage Studies, a completely different field of study.

"The person in charge of admissions at UG needs to be serious… Someone chose Medical Laboratory Science, and you've given him Archaeology and Heritage Studies ahh," the post read.
