As part of the programme, selected MA students in Economic Policy Management at the University of Ghana can spend six months at the University of Bradford completing their dissertations with the guidance of BCID tutors.

Visiting Senior Research Fellow Dr Mike Tribe is supervising two students, Evelyn Vanderpuije and Ben Tetteh. In Ghana, Evelyn works in the Bank of Ghana and Ben at the Ministry of Finance. A third Ghanaian student, Emmanuel Osafo, is being supervised by Ms Oriel Kenny at BCID.

Mike said: "BCID has a long-term relationship with higher education institutions in Ghana. The visiting students receive quality supervision and advice, have access to the University's excellent library and computing facilities as well as experiencing a different culture and learning environment."

The Master's programme is supported by the World Bank and the African Capacity Building Fund, and is one of four international programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. From 1990 to 2001, Dr Tribe co-ordinated a British Council Higher Education Link with three Ghanaian universities.
