This qualitative study\, guided by three research questions\, explored the experiences of Deaf students in sign language interpreter-mediated classrooms at three Ghanaian public universities. Using an interpretative phenomenological design\, the study employed a two-stage sampling approach\, combining purposive and convenience sampling to recruit participants. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews\, and results were presented based on experiential themes that emerged from the interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Findings revealed that Deaf students faced significant challenges such as inconsistent interpreter availability\, lecturers’ polarised teaching methods\, and occasional mockery. Positive experiences were reported when lecturers employed inclusive strategies and interpreters attended lectures regularly. Furthermore\, hearing students provided peer support through sign language interpreting assistance and assignment reviews\, motivated by mutual benefits that reflect the Ubuntu ethos of collective humanity. It is therefore recommended that lecturers continually and intentionally adopt Deaf-friendly teaching strategies to ensure Deaf students are not marginalized in the classroom\, and universities should employ more sign language interpreters. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n RSVP link – https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/22f320ef-8634-461f-8a71-7d98d28b98dc@73e15cf5-5dbb-46af-a862-753916269d73 Learn more at http://uncg.presence.io/event/analysis-of-deaf-students-experiences-in-sign-language-interpreter-mediated-classroom-in-public-universities-in-ghana
