Welcome To University College Of The Cayman Islands

Welcome To University College Of The Cayman Islands

For more than 45 years, the University College of the Cayman Islands, the nation's premier provider of post-secondary education, has been transforming the lives of Cayman's residents. Established as a community college for part-time students in 1975, the subsequent growth of our programmes were initiated and fueled by the changing needs of our developing society.

Many changes took place in the intervening years. In 1987, the Legislative Assembly designated the college a semi-autonomous post-secondary educational institution. And in 2004, it changed the name of the institution. The Community College of the Cayman Islands became the University College of the Cayman Islands.

 

 

Today, UCCI has evolved into Cayman's choice for comprehensive higher education, offering innovative programmes that prepare students for a lifetime of personal and professional success. The university college offers a broad array of certificates, undergraduate and graduate degrees. Additionally, students can enrol in continuing and professional education courses as well as workforce training programmes. We stand ready to assist learners at any chapter in their lives.

UCCI takes a holistic approach to education. We provide high-impact teaching coupled with a dynamic learning environment. Students enjoy a vibrant life experience, enriched by leadership development, co-curricular activities and a host of easily accessible support services.   

We enthusiastically celebrate our student’s successes and are proud to be a part of building our nation. UCCI is where education and real-world experiences converge to create a robust academic setting, one in which quality education is available to anyone.
