The Institute for Oil and Gas Studies is one of the most progressive and forward-looking institutes in the University of Cape Coast. The focus of the Institute is to build capacity in the oil and gas sector through teaching, research and extension for the efficient management of petroleum resources, revenue and the environment. The Institute came into being in 2013 and we have made significant strides in the introduction of sandwich and regular programmes at the graduate level; and short courses at the certificate level. Our academic programmes are market driven and very affordable.
