Degrees from the University of the West Indies (UWI) are now official recognized in China. The Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Jamaica, affirmed UWI’s status as an approved university by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China. This development is an acknowledgement of the regional institution’s high quality. China has recognized that UWI’s degrees are compatible to the standards met by other internationally renowned universities in the UK, US and Canada, which have sought to establish themselves in China. Students studying at any of UWI’s campuses, now have the assurance that their degrees will be accepted by future Chinese employers.
