About

History

In 1943 the Vice Chancellors of United Kingdom Universities convened a special commission to ' consider the principles which should guide the promotion of higher education, learning and research...in the colonies.' The recommendations of that commission saw a Royal Charter formally establishing what was then the University College of the West Indies in 1948.

Education

UWI’s 8 faculties offer a wide range of options at the undergraduate, masters and doctoral programmes in Agriculture, Humanities and Education, Engineering, Law, Medical and Veterinary Sciences, Pure and Applied Sciences, Social Sciences and Sport. Programmes are international in scope with a unique Caribbean focus. This strong emphasis on Caribbean issues makes The UWI the ideal educational institution for local and international students with an interest in Caribbean society.

Research

UWI is focused on building a research institution that will enable us to become internationally recognized as a centre of excellence in research, knowledge creation and innovation on matters relating to the Caribbean and Small Island Developing States.

Student Reviews

The faculty of Science and technology ,at UWI MONA, has the best professors 👍🏽

Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars

Majority of the professors were excellent at bringing forth their expertise in the classroom especially during the pandemic when it was mainly online classes. Labs and field trips were not only used to further understanding of topics but to give students a new view on the course they are doing.

Precarity

Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars

The UWI is ranked in the top 1% of Universities and Colleges worldwide. Its programs have produced regional and international world leaders and shakers, especially innovators in the creative field. My program at the Mona campus in Jamaica, Literatures In English, is one of the Faculty of Humanities oldest. However, it suffers from what a lot of humanities programs suffer...

Greatness
