The UWI through its Board for Undergraduate Studies significantly advanced the design of a Foreign Language Policy, envisioned to be effective from academic year 2022-2023. Applicable to all new students, the expectation is that all UWI graduates will be conversation competent in a language other than English.
“Significant change will enable the further regional and global mobility and empowerment of graduates. Foreign language proficiency will no longer be a major impediment to employment amongst our graduates in the global world.”
- Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, Vice-Chancellor
