The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for education and cultural relations. We connect people in Ghana with people in the UK and beyond.

British Council has been in operation in Ghana since 1943 and has built a long–standing relationship with the people of Ghana.

The strategic focus of our work is creating and enhancing learning opportunities and building access and understanding between Africa and the global community.

Below is the list of our services and programmes:

Examination / Administration Services

We are an approved centre for British professional and academic examinations. We register and invigilate CIPS, University of Cambridge International Examination and the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), the test needed for entrance to many British and foreign universities.
