Resources
The University has secured several professional research tools and software which are free to access by current students and staff.
Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the University has widened access to these tools by making them available to staff and students on and off-campus, to increase the efficiency of remote teaching and learning.
These tools and software vary across The UWI’s five campuses. A complete list of the tools available (by campus) can be accessed below:
