It offers undergraduate and postgraduate degree options in Food and Agriculture, Engineering, Humanities and Education, Law, Medical Sciences, Science and Technology and Social Sciences.

Celebrating its 70th anniversary and commitment to enhancing every aspect of Caribbean development and improving the well-being of the people of the Caribbean, the release said, the commemorative logo design competition is open to all members of The UWI community to produce a logo that captures the essence of this celebration of 70 years of service and leadership in the region.

Interested staff and students must be enrolled or employed at the UWI during the period of the competition, and alumni names will be crosschecked in the student databases. Among its criteria, the 70th anniversary logo must consist of the university’s name in its abbreviated format, “The UWI”, the period of its existence, the graphic treatment of the number “70”, and the typographic treatment of the words “seventieth anniversary.” Further details on the competition may be found on the link www.uwi.edu/70
