Registration at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Five Islands Campus begins today.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

This was revealed by Vice-Chancellor, Professor Sir Hilary Beckles at a press conference in Antigua & Barbuda on Monday.<\/p>\n

The newest landed UWI campus will begin with three schools; the School of Health and Behavioural Sciences, the School of Management, Sciences and Technology, and the School of Humanities and Education.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cAs you know we are a two-semester University so one group of students will enroll for this first semester\u201d, Sir Hilary explained.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Another group of students who might wish to look at other programs and who need more time can enrolled in the second semester beginning in January, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that we are going to be surprised by the demand that will grow in the second semester when people have had more time to put themselves in order and organize themselves. So, we are going to be advertising a news slate of programs\u2026 in this first semester to target you for the first semester\u201d, the Vice-Chancellor stated.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

One of the new programs recognizes the experiences the OECS has had with hurricanes, Sir Hilary said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to be offering a post graduate diploma climate smart studies and resilience, which is focused specifically on the experiences of the OECS and we\u2019re going to be rolling that program out in the second semester\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cIt is tailor made for the training of people who have had or who will have to deal with issues of recovery from disasters\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re expecting maybe about 200 or so to enroll for this first semester and another 200 or 300 in the second semester so within this first academic year we are looking to 500, 600 in this first academic year enrolled in semester one and semester two\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are going to evolve and I\u2019m giving five islands within the first five-year cycle to meet that threshold of having faculties and by then we should have several thousand students, several thousand students enrolled at Five Islands\u201d, Professor Beckles said.<\/p>\n

Professor Stafford A. Griffith was appointed as Interim Pro Vice-Chancellor and Principal for the Five Islands Campus earlier this month.<\/p>\n
