Home | The University of the West Indies Overview & Contact Data

The University of the West Indies website serves as the central information hub for one of the Caribbean region’s major public research institutions. It introduces prospective students, current students, staff, alumni, and visiting researchers to the university’s five regional campuses—Cave Hill, Five Islands, Mona, Global, and St Augustine—as well as its global centres in North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia. The site provides access to programmes, admissions guidance, campus-specific news, events, academic calendars, media resources, and contact details for the regional headquarters in Kingston, Jamaica. The page positions The UWI as a global university rooted in Caribbean educational priorities. It highlights the institution’s role in research, climate action, sustainable development, and regional policy, with particular attention to Small Island Developing States, climate-smart solutions, and SDG-engaged partnerships. The content also points to the university’s Triple A Strategic Plan, which the site says has helped raise its international visibility and place it among the top 5% of universities worldwide. This framing makes the site useful for readers seeking a Caribbean university with both regional relevance and global academic standing. The website also supports broader community and institutional communication. It features news on research findings, governance reports, professorial appointments, data protection training, and public events, while UWItv offers educational and public-information content for the Caribbean and wider audiences. By linking admissions, staff resources, alumni engagement, giving opportunities, and global partnerships, the site functions as a practical gateway for anyone interested in studying, working, researching, or collaborating with The University of the West Indies.
