Presbyterian University, Ghana was established by the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in 1998, after it established the first primary school in the country in 1843 and went on to manage hundreds of schools and colleges in between.
It was created as a result of high demand for student admission in Ghanaian universities.

Two and three-year diploma and HND programmes are also offered at the university in the areas of ICT, public relations, administration, and business administration. The qualifications gained from these courses can be used to pursue further education.
