University of Technology Jamaica - UTECH (reviews)

I actually love uni. I have not started as yet but I am super excited. I have attended registration and orientation already and it looks great so far. Obviously it’s not going to all be great but I am glad that I am pursing a course that I actually like- so I think I should be ok. I would definitely recommend it to others

Their prgrammes are practical and in line with the needs and expectations of employers globally and they were the first university to implement a Business Seminar that is planned and executed from conception to reality solely by students.

I would recommend such programmes as Nursing and Engineering as they have, in my opinion, the best trained nurses and engineers in Jamaica. Our nurses are often recruited to work overseas several times per year. University of Technology (UTech) teaches students about the real world -as they give hands on experience . Their students tend to do better in the work place than hires from other universities.

Dislikes: They are backward and punitive, and their academic advising policies and procedures are not very user friendly. It is felt that main campus students get better treatment than those at the western campus.

The University of Technology, Jamaica’s programs are accredited by the University Council of Jamaica and the programs are in keeping with similar programs at universities in developed countries. Their degrees ensure that students are prepared and equipped to meet employer needs and demands globally. They were the first university in Jamaica to implement Business Seminar planning and execution; from conception to the finished product solely by students;

Right off the bat I knew that I wanted to work with cars and the University of Technology had always been my first choice. However during the enrollment process a number of prospective students include myself faced technical challenges die to the university’s system. That was a huge disappointment for me but I was still excited. As the year progressed I realized that their system has always had faults and they refused to fix them. The customer service from the admin, and medical department were the worst.

Regardless of that, I enjoyed how open-minded and diverse the school’s population was. My faculty ( Faculty of Engineering and Computing) was and is the best. Our student rep was very engaging with all of us, creating new activities such as sip and paint, parties, volleyball and netball tournament between faculties etc. I met a lot of persons throughout the year both lectures and students alike.

I would recommend this school for it’s practical curriculum and it’s diverse population, how inviting everyone is etc. I would give this school a 4/5.
