The Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies (UWI) South Cam­pus in Pe­nal-Debe will of­fi­cial­ly open for aca­d­e­m­ic pro­grammes in Au­gust 2025, near­ly a decade af­ter its sched­uled com­ple­tion.

Pro Vice-Chan­cel­lor and Cam­pus Prin­ci­pal Pro­fes­sor Rose-Marie Belle An­toine said:

“The UWI St Au­gus­tine Cam­pus is ex­cit­ed to work with the Gov­ern­ment of Trinidad and To­ba­go as a key de­vel­op­men­tal part­ner in its shared goals of strength­en­ing the ed­u­ca­tion, skills-base and re­search im­per­a­tives of the coun­try. Max­imis­ing the ca­pac­i­ty of the South Cam­pus to en­sure that the coun­try’s pro­duc­tive re­sources are put to op­ti­mum use is an im­por­tant facet of these laud­able goals.”
