Southshore University College Unveils New Branding in Accra
Southshore University College, formerly known as Dominion University College, has announced its official rebranding and grand launch, scheduled for Friday, January 24, 2026, at its main campus in East Legon, Accra.
Established in 2009, the private tertiary institution said the transition to Southshore University College marks a strategic repositioning aimed at strengthening innovation-driven education, leadership development, and globally competitive training aligned with Africa’s development priorities and the international labour market.
The launch event, themed “From Africa, A New Light,” will formally unveil the university’s new identity, expanded academic programmes, and upgraded teaching and learning facilities.
The programme is expected to begin at 2:15 p.m. and will bring together members of the Governing Council, industry leaders, diplomats, and key stakeholders in the education sector.
The ceremony will feature a keynote address by Dr Patrick Awuah, Founder and President of Ashesi University, with the Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, expected to attend as Guest of Honour.
Professor Nicholas N. N. Nsowah-Nuamah, President of Southshore University College, said the rebranding reflects a deliberate institutional evolution rather than a cosmetic change.
He noted that the new identity aligns with the university’s vision to become a modern, digital-first, and industry-aligned institution.
Professor Nsowah-Nuamah assured that the rebranding does not affect the institution’s accreditation or academic affiliations, stressing that it remains fully accredited by GTEC and maintains its academic affiliation with the University of Cape Coast.
He added that current students would continue their programmes without disruption, while graduates after the official launch would receive certificates from UCC indicating Southshore University College as their institution of study.
Southshore University College said the rebranding is accompanied by expanded curricula in emerging fields such as data science, artificial intelligence, public health, and leadership, alongside upgraded technology laboratories at its East Legon campus.
