The University was established out of a dire need for highly qualified and skilled manpower in education to provide leadership and enlightenment. Its original mandate was therefore to train graduate professional teachers for Ghana's second cycle institutions and the Ministry of Education, in order to meet the manpower needs of the country's accelerated education programme at the time. Today, with the expansion of some of its faculties and the diversification of programmes, the University has the capacity to meet the manpower needs of other ministries and industries in the country, besides that of the Ministry of Education.

Professor Akua Opokua Britwum of the Department of Labour and Human Resource Studies at the School of Development Studies (SDS), University of Cape Coast (UCC), has urged researchers to adopt inclusive and gender-sensitive approaches to land-use research to address inequalities in land ownership and access.

Prof. Britwum made the call during a two-day non-residential workshop for early-career researchers and postgraduate students organised by the Department of Integrated Development Studies (SDS) in collaboration with the Global Partnership Network.
