Welcome to the Faculty of Social Sciences

Student Exchange and Study Abroad

Our International Exchange/Study Abroad Programme makes it possible for you to have the best of both worlds.  The UWI enjoys collaborative links with almost 30 Institutions in the United States, Canada, Europe and the Caribbean.  These relationships make it possible for you to spend a semester or a year pursuing courses at a partner Institution.  You may also opt to spend a period at one of the other UWI Campuses in Jamaica or Trinidad.

The deadline for the receipt of applications is December 31.  Further particulars on the Exchange programmes are available from the Admissions Section, Student Affairs.  Applications in writing should be addressed to the Senior Assistant Registrar, Student Affairs, setting out the proposed programme and the University at which the student wishes to pursue the programme.

Students should consult the Dean of the Faculty or the Head of their Department on their proposed programme.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Under the Exchange Agreement, tuition fees are paid to the "home" University.  No tuition fees are paid to the "Exchange" University, but students are responsible for their living and all other expenses.

Study Abroad agreements exist with institutions such as Haverford College and Brown University, USA; and Warwick University, UK.  Under these agreements, students are required to pay tuition fees to the host institution.

Application Procedure:

The procedure for application is as follows:

1. Consult the Dean of the Faculty or Head of Department on your proposed course of study.

2. Apply in writing to the Senior Assistant Registrar, Student Affairs by December 31 setting out:

(a) your proposed programmes;
(b) the University at which you wish to pursue the programme;
(c) your reasons for going on exchange and how the programme will be of benefit to you.

Handbooks and course information for Overseas Universities are available in the Admissions Office of Student Affairs.
