Cross-continental partnership with The UWI

The cross-continental academic partnership was formalised through a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed into effect by the President of BUas, Dr. Jorrit Snijder, and Pro Vice-Chancellor for Global Affairs at The UWI, Sandrea Maynard. And in the presence of Symone Betton Nayo, Jamaican Ambassador to Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Luxemborg and Head of Mission to the EU. This significant milestone seals a cooperation offering substantial benefits for both institutions. 

Jorrit Snijder (BUas): “Ultimately, this partnership will enhance educational quality and research impact on both continents. By combining resources and expertise, both institutions can foster greater internationalisation, develop joint academic programmes, and facilitate student and faculty exchanges, contributing to a richer, more diverse academic environment.”

Sandrea Maynard (The UWI): “The cross-continental collaboration not only bridges European and Caribbean educational cultures but also promotes global understanding and development, aligning with both institutions' strategic goals of international engagement and innovation”.
