The College builds capacity in the tropics by providing coursework that can develop knowledge and skills in Humanities, Arts and Creative Media, Social Sciences, Social Work and Education. We also facilitate the expansion of knowledge of people and societies in the Tropics through research at Masters and PhD levels.

We look forward to hearing from you and wish you well on the journey you are about to begin.
Regards,
