STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT DATA
During Semester 2 the Student Enrolment and Retention Unit (SERU) once again coordinated a very successful series of Faculty Open Weeks which ran from February to May 2023. During this period all faculties were allocated a full week to showcase their programmes and provide prospective students with an insight into life and learning as a student in their respective faculties. The faculties took responsibility for planning and organising their activities for the weeks, with assistance from the SERU and the Office of Marketing and Communications. The core activities of each Week were virtual undergraduate and postgraduate information sessions which provided opportunities for the faculties, as well as administrative offices to engage in Q & A with applicants and prospective applicants. This year, most faculties held in-person as well as virtual activities. Recordings of virtual information sessions were made available online for on-demand viewing following the live sessions. This year again, the SERU arranged for representatives from each faculty, including students, to appear live on the local television programme Mornin’ Barbados, throughout their assigned weeks.
Undergraduate and postgraduate students at the Cave Hill Campus continued to perform commendably. The graduation summary data is shown below: Total graduates: 1,486 Undergraduate degrees, diplomas and certificates:1,065 Postgraduate degrees, diplomas and certificates: 421
