UCC STUDENTS
COULD EARN
ONE OR MORE
TERMS FREE
As the
economic
belt
tightens for
most
Jamaicans,
the
University
College of
the
Caribbean
(UCC) is
finding
increasingly
more
creative
ways to
ensure its
students are
able to
afford
tertiary
education.
New,
prospective
and
returning
UCC students
have the
opportunity
to now earn
up to 100
percent
discount on
a term’s
tuition.
Through an
affiliate
marketing
programme,
dubbed the
‘Collaborative
Recruitment
Programme’,
UCC students
will be
given a five
percent
discount for
making
qualified
referrals to
the
institution
commencing
the
September
2008 term.
With no
limitations
on the
number of
referrals a
student can
make, the
opportunity
then exists
for the
referring
student to
earn a full
term free
for their
qualified
referrals.

UCC APPROVED
TO OFFER
UNIVERSITY
OF LONDON
DIPLOMA IN
LAW
On May 21,
2008, the
University
College of
the
Caribbean
(UCC) became
the first
tertiary
institution
in Jamaica
and one of
the first in
the
Caribbean to
be approved
by the
University
of London
(UOL) to
offer its
Diploma of
Law.
The UCC
received
‘Permission
to Teach’

the 150 year

external
programmes,
joining
institutions
in only nine
other
countries
worldwide to
have

Exploit
Distance
Education
In the
context of a
globalized
world and
our own CSME,
distance
education
has become
an important
part of the
education
menu in
terms of
opening up
opportunities
for
education
and
training.
This is even
more so with
the
competition
for scarce
resources
and our
traditional
institutions
not being
able to meet
the growing
demand for
higher
education in
our society
with respect
to physical
space and
the
availability
of highly
qualified
professionals
where they
are needed
across the
island and
the region.
It is very
much still a
new growth
area in the
Jamaican
economy that
offers great
possibilities,
particularly
for the
adult
learner,
juggling the
need for
further
education
with the
demands of
financial
security.

Secure your
Financial Career
With all the
changes and
diversification
of activity in
the Securities
and Financial
Sector in
Jamaica, it
would be an
asset to
professionals in
the industry as
well as those
interested in
entering the
sector to
complement the
qualifications
and experience
they already
possess with
proper
certification.
Individuals
should be able

Business Savvy
Computer Degrees
Students of
computing
degrees usually
focus primarily
on specialized
knowledge to the
abandonment of
much else. But
not at UCC.
Guided by market
realities in the
development of
its Information
Technology, (IT)
and Management
Information
Systems (MIS)
programmes, the
institution has
deviated again
from the norm to
ensure that its
students
graduate with
competencies to
excel in their
specialization
as well as
operate their
own
establishments;
or at least,
have an
appreciation of
fundamental
business
processes.

they when the

GERALDINE
ADAMS: A WOMAN
OF QUIET FORTITUDE
Two
years ago
the UCC Foundation
US, decided
it would be
a good idea
to create
scholarships
in the honour
of each of
the founding
members of
the University
College of
the Caribbean.
UCC Foundation
director,
Trish Steger
recalls that
Mrs. Geraldine
Adams who
shares ownership
of the instiutuion
with husband
Winston Adams,
was quite
shy about
having a scholarship
named in her
honour and
a compromise
was made to
create a scholarship
called the
Geraldine
Adams Hope
scholarship. |

PRACTICUM
PREPS STUDENTS
FOR WORK
For many
years there
has been a
lament in
our society
that tertiary
education
in Jamaica
does not adequately
prepare graduates
for the work.
Our traditional
educational
system of
rote with
its heavy
emphasis on
recall above
knowledge
application
and adaptability
has been voiced
as a sore
contention
among disappointed
employers
who say too
often their
expectation
of university
graduates
is not matched
by performance.
The University
College of
the Caribbean
with its legacy
as a centre
for hands-on
professional
training attained
by predecessors
IMP and IMS,
has given
itself a deliberate
mandate to
balance theory
and practice
and ensure
its graduates
have the know-how
to apply themselves
immediately
on the job. |
