At the University of the West Indies, our International Exchange / Study Abroad Programme makes it possible for students to have the best of both worlds.

 

The University of the West Indies enjoys collaborative links with almost 30 institutions in the United States, Canada, Europe, and elsewhere in the Caribbean that permit study elsewhere either as an Exchange agreement or as Study Abroad through co-operative agreements.

Under the Exchange Agreements tuition and other fees (where applicable) are paid to UWI as usual.

In a few cases, maintenance grants are available and these are awarded on the basis of academic merit.
