For the Sports Buff

At UWI, we believe that a sound mind resides within a healthy body. As a result, we have invested extensively over the last few years in creating a range of outstanding sporting facilities on campus, which are second to none in the region. The Sport and Physical Education Centre (SPEC) provides the opportunity for students to enjoy sport and participate in sport and exercise as a means of achieving a healthier lifestyle, developing new skills and maintaining or improving their sporting talents. Plans are also underway to upgrade SPEC’s outdoor playing field to international standards. Some of the exciting additions to our stock of sporting facilities include an athletics track and improved cricket pitch

FACILITIES FOR SPORTS

  • State-of-the art tennis court
  • Multi-purpose indoor arena
  • Weight training and fitness classes
  • Circuits, spinning, body sculpting and aerobics
  • Modern, well–equipped gym and fitness area
UWI takes sport seriously, and has the facilities and expertise to support this commitment. Apart from providing opportunities and facilities for the enjoyment of sport, SPEC also supports students who are working academically in physical education, sport science or coaching. Even national sporting icons frequently use our facilities for training. the social butterfly in you

STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND SOCIETIES

One of the best ways to meet new and like-minded people is to get involved in one of the student societies at St. Augustine. Organised under the Guild of Students, there are academic as well as artistic, cultural and religious societies catering to the special needs of students. From karate to photography, you can be sure to find the right club for you.
