Curriculum Renewal As a university with a stellar international reputation, The UWI, Cave Hill Campus engages in a continuous curric- ulum renewal process in order that its programmes remain attractive and relevant in the face of a dynamic and ever- changing global, competitive environment. It is undoubtedly the only way that the Campus could honour its commit- ment to its students, by providing them with the best possible education that will define and shape their knowl- edge, skills and character in sync with the desired attributes of a UWI graduate and a global citizen. Furthermore, it is the foremost way in which the institution can continue to make an immense contribution on national, regional and international levels.
