Strategic Pillars / International Networks & Partnerships
Internationalisation Thrust
Our Approach
This strategic shift has seen our university move to have a physical presence on all continents and establish hundreds of partnerships with other international universities; civil society; foundations; multilaterals organisations; the private sector and state agencies.
Through our many partnership agreements, The UWI collaborates for joint programming; student and staff exchanges; research and a range of other activities. We are fulfilling our mandate to advance learning, create knowledge, and foster innovation and our faculty and students have become more deeply engaged in addressing development issues confronting the Caribbean region and the world.
