The School for Graduate Studies and Research was established in August 1996 as the operational arm of the Board for Graduate Studies and Research on the recommendation of The 1994 UWI Chancellor\u2019s Commission on Governance. This was in response to the need in the region for higher level advanced education, and the increasing emphasis that The UWI has been placing upon graduate education and research as the defining strength of its academic portfolio. Without underestimating the importance of a strong undergraduate foundation, it was recognised then that for developing countries to advance beyond the stage of \u201cdeveloping\u201d, education at the highest professional and academic levels, rooted in national, regional and international aspirations and standards, must not only be strengthened but must flourish.<\/p>\n

Over the past three decades, the SGSR has been central to the University\u2019s mandate \u201cto advance learning, create knowledge and foster innovation for the positive transformation of the Caribbean and the wider world.\u201d … read more<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#663366″ custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_heading title=”From the Vice Chancellor ” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” title_level=”h2″ title_text_align=”center” title_text_color=”#FFFFFF” title_font_size=”40px” title_line_height=”1.4em” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_heading][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” border_width_bottom=”1px” border_color_bottom=”rgba(255,255,255,0.22)” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/sta.uwi.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/21\/2026\/07\/Photo-VC-Beckles-portrait-2.jpg” title_text=”Photo VC Beckles (portrait) 2″ align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width_tablet=”50%” max_width_phone=”75%” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” animation_intensity_slide=”5%” box_shadow_style=”preset4″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_icon font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”rgba(175,175,175,0.29)” icon_width=”77px” align=”left” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||-40px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_icon][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” custom_padding=”|||15px|false|false” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”bottom” animation_intensity_slide=”2%” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n
