History and development UWI began as a University College in special relationship with the University of London in 1948. The first campus was at Mona, Jamaica and became the first institution of higher learning in the country. The St. Augustine campus entered the system in 1960 when the Imperial College of Tropical Agriculture (ICTA) merged with UWI. The Cave Hill campus in Barbados was added in 1963; Codrington College, a theological college, joined with this campus in 1965. In 1962, UWI became independent of the University of London system. The first Vice-Chancellor of the independent institution, the St Lucian Sir Arthur Lewis, was to become the first person of African descent to win a Nobel Prize other than for peace, receiving the Nobel Memorial Prize for Economics in 1979.
