Welcome Message

Globally, there are many colleges and universities springing up daily due to the growing demand for tertiary education. The demand has been propelled by public knowledge that people who graduate with university degrees make an average of more than twice the incomes of those who have not. People with tertiary education are also more likely to have a reliable source of income than their counterparts in various industries. Additionally, college education increases civic engagement, volunteerism, healthy lifestyle, innovation, and passion for success needed to drive change.  

The Lakeside University College, Ghana (L.U.C.G)  is a technology and innovation-oriented Liberal Arts institution founded on Islamic values of honesty, sincerity, hard work, and integrity. It was founded and commissioned by Madina Foundation of Science & Technology (MFST) to provide access to high-quality education through teaching, research, and mentorship to empower graduates to provide solutions to everyday problems in communities. The institute holds a great promise for current and future generations, who aspire to explore the world around them. Its schools of engineering, business and technology provide a stimulating environment for academic and professional inquiries into complex issues and finding effective solutions to problems. The institute is envisaged by the founders to serve as a vehicle through which complex research is initiated and undertaken to inspire change.
