In the 2022 World University Rankings, released by the Times Higher Education (THE) in September 2021, The UWI soared within the scales, moving up a very impressive 94 places. From the global field of some 30,000 universities and elite research institutes, The UWI now stands in the top 1.5%, up from 3% in the prior year.
Vice-Chancellor Beckles considers this a spectacular performance, noting that while The UWI has maintained its number one position in the Caribbean, and top 1% in Latin America and the Caribbean, the surge to the top 1.5% in the world gives us a considerable degree of professional satisfaction as a management and leadership team. He concluded, “The top global tier is where we set out to position our university and we have reached there.”
The vision embedded in the Triple A Strategic Plan laid the foundation for this ranking engagement since 2018.
