Discover the Legacy and Vision of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST)
Science has been an integral part of the academic landscape at The University of the West Indies (UWI), Cave Hill Campus since its establishment in 1963. Our Faculty proudly traces its roots back to the former Faculty of Natural Sciences, which began teaching in 1949 at The UWI Mona Campus in Jamaica and later expanded to The UWI St. Augustine Campus in Trinidad in 1964.

Our rich history reflects a strong tradition of academic excellence, and we continue to celebrate the remarkable leadership of those who have guided our Faculty through the years.

We are proud to be both a regional and international Faculty. While most of our full-time academic staff are Caribbean nationals, we also benefit from the expertise of lecturers from around the world, creating a diverse and dynamic learning environment. Our degree programmes are highly respected both regionally and internationally, with many of our graduates making significant contributions globally - whether in the workforce or through advanced studies abroad.

At FST, we are deeply committed to advancing science through teaching, research, innovation and community engagement. Our mission is to foster scientific discovery, contribute to the global body of knowledge, and play an active role in shaping the future of the Caribbean region.

Through our "Science for ALL" initiative, we are working to make science accessible and inclusive - breaking stereotypes and encouraging people from all walks of life to see themselves as part of the scientific community. We believe that science and technology should be within everyone's reach and are passionate about inspiring curiosity and participation across all ages and backgrounds.

The Faculty proudly aligns with and supports the broader Mission and Vision of The University of the West Indies (UWI), as we work collectively to uplift and empower our region through education and innovation. Click on the link provided to learn more about The UWI's Mission and Vision.
