Implementing a system as comprehensive as we envision requires that all UWI entities are committed to a culture of quality. Generally quality management systems direct how organisations implement quality policy and achieve quality objectives. The UWI Quality Management System (QMS) is predicated on two pillars:

  • the UWI Definition of Quality, and
  • the implementation of The UWI Quality Management Framework (QMF)

Together, these guide University Departments, Institutes, Schools, Centres, Units and Sites (collectively known as 'DISCUS') in the development of internal quality objectives, standards, desired practice and quality management mechanisms that are aligned to the University's strategic approach. All Campus and Vice Chancellery entities involved in any or all of the processes of the QMF (Plan, Do, Check, Act) are part of the QMS.
