President’s Welcome

President’s Welcome

Welcome to the University College of the Caribbean (UCC). We offer prospective students the opportunity to engage themselves in a challenging, academic environment that incorporates proven international best practices in education. UCC offers a variety of programme offerings inclusive of short courses that satisfy the training needs of corporate entities to improve the productivity of their workforce, as well as for fulltime students and working professionals seeking to complete diplomas, associate and bachelors’ degrees and graduate degrees for personal and professional advancement.

The student population comprises recent high school graduates and working adults seeking to complete their first Associate or Bachelor Degree or continuing their education with a first or even a second Master Degree. The reasons for attending UCC vary; however, regardless of the reasons, our students and graduates leave transformed, ready to take on work, life and intellectual challenges.

UCC, being one of the largest privately-held higher education institutions in the Caribbean, operates from eight locations in Jamaica thus providing unparalleled access to a wide cross-section of the population. In response to a growing and globally competitive market, we continue to seek new locations and opportunities from which our students and prospective students will ultimately benefit.

We look forward to having you join our expanding student population thereby benefiting from the array of offerings and activities which have been formulated primarily to ensure that your time spent with us at UCC is both productive, stimulating and enjoyable.

Executive Chairman & President
