Welcome to The University of Trinidad and Tobago's Main Website

UTT has been awarded Continuing Institutional Accreditation by the Accreditation Council of Trinidad and Tobago (ACTT) for the maximum period of seven (7) years, from 17 December 2025 to 16 December 2032. This is the second time in UTT's history that it has been accredited for the maximum period. This badge of excellence is UTT's assurance to its stakeholders that it meets and in some instances, surpasses, benchmarked standards of quality. It speaks of a UTT qualification that is relevant, recognised and respected by employers as well as other tertiary institutions. While ALL of UTT's programmes are accredited, some have attained specialised accreditation due to the need, in certain instances, to be licensed to operate in a specific profession. This carries proof of additional value in areas that potentially impact on public health and safety. Read more about our reaccreditation
