Institutional Accreditation

The self-study working groups have been convened to ensure that the Campus fulfils the key criteria set by the ACTT for assessing institutional quality. In addition, the Campus has added a criterion relating to graduate studies research, innovation and entrepreneurship which is of particular importance to The UWI.
