Ghanaian Student Aspirations
INTRODUCTION

In collaboration with the Institute of African Studies and Centre for Migration Studies, I am conducting a study on the career aspirations of Ghanaian university students. This study is aimed at soliciting views of second year students in all majors at University of Ghana on issues of career, opportunities and migration. Your views will help us understand how aspirations are formed and what is important to university students in Ghana today.

I would like to ask you a few questions about yourself and your aspirations. Your answers cannot be traced back to you and I assure you that all information collected from this study will be kept strictly confidential.

Thanks for your participation,
Kajsa Hallberg Adu
PhD Candidate
