Thank you for making the new UWI Faculty of Culture, Creative and Performing Arts

and the Errol Barrow for Creative Imagination your choice for your undergraduate

degree!

We look forward to meeting you at your upcoming interview and/or audition. Our primary aim at the interview is to find out about your creative approach and imagination, rather than your existing technical skills—though any existing aptitudes and experience will be taken into account. Please note that an invitation to interview/audition is part of the application process and is not an acceptance to UWI.
