HISTORYThe University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech,Ja.) dates its beginning from 1958, originally asthe Jamaica Institute of Technology. In 1959 thename of the institution was changed to theCollege of Arts, Science and Technology and itbecame incorporated in the College of Arts,Science and Technology (CAST) Scheme of1959. This was validated by anACT of Parliamentin 1964. In 1986, the CAST Scheme was revisedin order to make the College a degree-grantinginstitution, and the College became legallyempowered to conduct affairs under a governingCouncil andAcademic Board. The institution wasformally accorded University status on September1, 1995 as the University of Technology, Jamaica.The University of Technology, Jamaica Act 27-1999, which makes permanent provisions for theestablishment of the University of Technology,Jamaica was approved by Parliament on June 8,1999 and signed into law by the GovernorGeneral on June 19, 1999.

The history of the institution is intimatelyconnected with the social and economicdevelopment of Jamaica. From just over 50students and four programmes in 1958, UTech,Ja has grown to become Jamaica’s premiernational institution with a student population ofover 12,000. It now offers more than 90programmes at the certificate, diploma anddegree levels through its five faculties and threecolleges.

The University has further expanded access to itsprogramme offerings to meet the demands ofbusiness and industry by establishing campusesand satellite locations across Jamaica. Inaddition, several programmes are franchisedthrough links with community colleges, and mostprogrammes are linked to national and

international professional organisations.

Syllabuses are modeled on the Englishpolytechnic system, with emphasis on flexibility ofapproach work-based learning and professionallinkages afforded through co-operative workbased programmes. Flexibility in the University’sacademic programmes is reflected in the variousmodes of course delivery, which include theestablishment of a Semesterised mode ofdelivery introduced in academic year 1999/2000and further adjusted and piloted in 2009-2010.The academic year was restructured into threeacademic sessions and all courses of studymodularized. Several credit and non creditcourses are offered during the Summer Sessionfrom mid-May to August.
