StudyPortal: A Door to My Future
My experience at the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) in Ghana was genuinely transformative. Studying Information Technology over four years exposed me to everything from cybersecurity and AI to mobile app development and data science. I didn't just learn theory; I built real systems, competed in national hackathons, and graduated with first-class honors (CGPA: 3.78). What I really liked was how the program pushed practical learning. Courses like Mobile Application Development, Advanced Information Security, and Data Science gave me skills I applied immediately in real projects and competitions. Winning 2nd place at a departmental hackathon and placing in the top 5 out of 50 teams at another while still a student showed me the program was preparing us for the real world. What could be improved is access to international exposure and research funding. Brilliant students in Ghana often lack the networks and financial resources to take their work further; that gap is real. Overall, UENR gave me a strong academic and technical foundation. I have not yet started my master's, but I have applied to GISMA University of Applied Sciences in Potsdam, Germany, and have received an unconditional offer letter to study MSc Data Science, AI, and Digital Business. StudyPortal played a key role in connecting me to this €10,000 scholarship opportunity, which will make this next chapter possible. For any student serious about IT in Ghana, UENR delivers, and platforms like StudyPortal make sure that hard work doesn't go unnoticed.
Smooth experienc
The scholarship application was Smooth while applying to GISMA MSc program. It was also User friendly, there was a prompt support on each step needed. My advice is Prepare early & check deadlines.

This university has eaten all my hard earned money
This university is a money making business , failing students and targetting on the same for no reason, this has been the worst nightmare of my life. All my hard earned money has been eaten. This university and the professors are not at all supportive not all but few. Also taking money for extending visa letters and not a single chance for reappearing without paying the money.
