Samuel Jackman Institute Of Technology
The Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology, was established in 1969 as the Samuel Jackman Prescod Polytechnic, at University Row, Deep Water Harbour, Bridgetown. In 1972 the Barbados Technical Institute was merged with the Polytechnic which operated branches at Richmond and Grazettes Industrial Park. In 1975 there was a further extension of the Polytechnic when the Division of Agriculture was set up at Eckstein Village. Later in the year the main branch of the Polytechnic was removed from the Harbour and re-sited at “Melbourne”, Belmont Road in order to make room for the Harbour expansion. During this period technical and vocational training experienced changes following the building of the new Polytechnic at “Wildey” on eleven (11) acres of land. The facilities at House-Craft Centre, Bay Street had become inadequate to serve the needs of students and to service the new programmes in Home Economics and so, on May 26, 1982, when the new Polytechnic was opened, expanded programmes offering full- time courses in Home Economics, Clothing Craft, Cosmetology, Industrial Sewing Machines and Garment Making formed the Division of Human Ecology. Apart from its own programmes, the Polytechnic also provides training for the Barbados Vocational Training Board, students of Secondary Schools, Industrial Workers and teachers of our schools. On October 19th, 2017, the Samuel Jackman Prescod Polytechnic was officially renamed to the Samuel Jackman Prescod Institute of Technology.

The Faculty Of Law, Uwi, Cave Hill Campus
Established in 1970, the Faculty of Law set to develop both legal capacity and social imagination across the Caribbean. Fifty years later, and we have achieved many of our goals. Cave Hill is a powerful symbol of the promise of regional integration. As the only Caribbean Faculty of Law from its inception in 1970 until 2012 – when sister Faculties were established at Mona and St Augustine –Cave Hill has been central in developing a Caribbean legal identity and Caribbean-specific jurisprudence. By making the teaching and promotion of Caribbean law and Caribbean legal perspectives on global issues central to what it does, we educate our students about and empower our graduates with confidence and faith in the validity of the Caribbean experience. Cave Hill is also an expression of the excellence that Caribbean peoples acting together can achieve. Our graduates occupy some of the highest judicial and political offices in the region and are at the forefront of moulding and reforming our colonial legal heritage to better respond to the challenges of life in a post-colonial, modern Caribbean. We have always viewed advancement of regional development and the communication of the unique Caribbean identity as central to our mandate as a tertiary educational institution. Through both our teaching and research, we have made timeless contributions to the character of Caribbean legal frameworks. In this year of our fiftieth anniversary, we look not to the past but to our future, and we commit to placing regional priorities at the centre of the education we provide and the research we carry out. On this page, we showcase activities, commentaries, and aspirations from the Cave Hill Faculty of Law. We invite alumni and students, we invite practitioners and professionals to help us advance the development of law throughout the Caribbean.
