Lifelong learning is a commitment to continuously acquiring new knowledge and skills. The School of Continuing Studies at UWI, provides opportunities for the lifelong learner in the Caribbean. We are committed to fostering the interests of adult students and the lifelong learning community by working closely with our regional partners.

We have a long tradition of outreach programmes, which provide valuable opportunities for mature students to take courses on a part-time basis. Under the general heading of 'Continuing Studies', both credit and non-credit courses are provided in a wide range of areas. We focus on basic education, the upgrading of professional and para-professional skills, and UWI certificates and diplomas.

By enrolling in our programmes, large numbers of Caribbean people have benefited from the experience of study at an institution of higher learning and have been able to advance to tertiary education both within and outside of the UWI system.

This work is a vital contribution to lifelong learning, and we attach high priority to its continuation.
