Applications are open to all persons who are recognized as having satisfied the matriculation requirements for entry to The University of the West Indies as well as such Faculty requirements as may obtain. 

Possession of minimum entry requirements does not guarantee a place.

Who can Apply

• those who already satisfy Matriculation and Faculty requirements;
• those who are taking examinations in January and/or June in order to qualify for entry.

The offer of a place is considered ONLY when applicants have satisfied both matriculation and faculty requirements. As a result of the limited number of places available in each faculty, only applicants with the highest academic qualifications are likely to receive offers.

Important: See Admission Requirements  for further information
