The UWI has been and continues  to be a pivotal  force in every aspect of Caribbean development;  residing at the centre of all efforts to improve the well-being of people across the region for the past  75 years.  

From a university college of London in Jamaica with 33 medical students in 1948, The UWI is today  an internationally respected, global university with near 50,000 students and five campuses: Mona in Jamaica, St. Augustine in Trinidad and Tobago, Cave Hill in Barbados, Five Islands in Antigua  and Barbuda and its Open Campus, and global centres in partnership with universities in North  America, Latin America, Asia, Africa and Europe.  

The UWI  offers  over 800 certificate, diploma, undergraduate and postgraduate degree  options in  Culture,  Creative  and Performing Arts,  Food  and Agriculture,  Engineering,  Humanities  and  Education, Law, Medical Sciences, Science and Technology, Social Sciences, and Sport. As the  Caribbean’s  leading  university,  it  possesses  the  largest  pool  of  Caribbean  intellect  and  expertise  committed to confronting the critical issues of our region and wider world. 

The UWI has been consistently ranked among  the  top universities globally by  the most reputable  ranking agency, Times Higher Education (THE). The UWI is the only Caribbean-based university to  make the prestigious lists since its debut in the rankings in 2018. In addition to its leading position  in the Caribbean in the World University Rankings, it is also in the top 25 for Latin America and  the Caribbean and the top 100 global Golden Age universities (between 50 and 80 years old).  The  UWI is also featured among the leading universities on THE’s Impact Rankings for its response to  the  world’s  biggest  concerns,  outlined  in  the  17  United  Nations  Sustainable  Development  Goals  (SDGs), including Good Health and Wellbeing; Gender Equality and Climate Action.
