The Open Campus at a Glance

The University of the West Indies (UWI) Open Campus is based on the idea that the high-quality university education, research, and services available at our institution should be open and available to all people who wish to reach their potential inside and outside of the Caribbean region. The Open Campus adopts quality teaching and learning experiences, innovative pedagogic design, and relevant research and community partnerships, to deliver face-to-face, blended and online learning to all of its communities.

As a the newest constituent of the 21st century UWI community, the Open Campus also works with the faculties of its sister UWI campuses in Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago, as well as with other organisations, to develop and deliver quality programmes and services to meet the learning needs of the people of the Caribbean.

According to the UWI Strategic Plan 2007-2017, the deliverables of the UWI Open Campus will include:

· capacity-building interventions for other institutions

· short courses at pre-univeristy, undergraduate and graduate levels

· undergraduate degrees, postgraduate degrees, continuing education, professional development

· issue-driven programmes and courses, problem-driven research collaboration, cultural development programmes

· harmonization and coordination of existing responses to needs in the target populations

There are over 40 Open Campus sites located in all the English-speaking Caribbean countries that support the UWI, as well as easy access through its website www.open.uwi.edu.
