Abstract: This study explored university students' perceptions of the usefulness of some antibullying measures in ensuring a bullying-free learning environment. The results in this paper are part of a larger comparative study that investigated the prevalence of bullying in Norway and Ghana, albeit limiting this paper to students' recommendations of preventive measures. Students from Norway (n = 438) and Ghana (n = 751) were recruited. The comparative study highlights the sociocultural tendencies underlying some recommendations to provide holistic knowledge. The analyses revealed significant differences in students' recommendations from both countries. Generally, the responses suggest the need for the impartial application of disciplinary measures to students and lecturers; independent contact persons for reporting; students' and authorities' collaboration for bullying prevention; antibullying employment contracts; counselling services; and awareness creation. With unique national cultures and changing societal trends, we suggest that national policies that aim at cultural consciousness regarding bullying would be ideal for its prevention.
