The UWI is the premier destination for education in Tourism & Hospitality in the Caribbean region. Four distinctive educational programmes bring together key elements of modern tourism and hospitality management into a first world training programme that will produce graduates capable of managing any department in a tourism destination’s facility. The programmes offer significant advantages to students as they combine social, cultural, economic and technological elements of the challenging tourism landscape using delivery modes that suit students’ workstyle and lifestyle.
The programmes aim to provide students with key principles of tourism and hospitality, covering a breadth of knowledge in key management skills, including leadership and self management. On completion of these programmes participants will be able to:

• Work as effective team players in the tourism and hospitality industry.
• Demonstrate proficiency in tourism management skills and leadership skills

Programmes are available on a full-time or part-time basis.

Graduates from the undergraduate programmes are qualitatively different from graduates of other institutions. Graduates from the hospitality management program will graduate with expertise in the area of all-inclusive management. Graduates from the tourism management program exit that programme with expertise in cultural tourism. These programmes benefits students and the region by offering courses that focus on the destination, the image, the environment and community tourism.
It is important to note that the focus on these areas does not preclude the exposure to the broad body of tourism knowledge. The intent is however, to ensure that students emerging from these programmes will be more marketable and of greater value to the region.
