In 1992, the Faculty of Social Sciences
pioneered the Summer Programme tradition at the University
of theWest Indies (UWI), St. Augustine Campus. The
Summer Programme modestly started off with 5 core
undergraduate courses and was targeted mainly at students
registered at UWI.
Retraining & Development
With its expanded course and programme offerings,
the Social Sciences Summer Programme currently attracts
students from UWI and other tertiary institutions
in Trinidad & Tobago, the CARICOM region and international
destinations. It also caters to the needs of people
in the workforce who recognize the importance of continually
retooling themselves to meet the demands of their
workplaces.
Programmes & Courses
Our Summer Programme offers participants
the opportunity to take part in various intellectually
stimulating programmes. These programmes are conducted
by a team of qualified and experienced full-time and
part-time lecturers. The benefits to clients are many
and range from accelerating programme completion times
to personal and professional development.
