The department of Mathematics and Engineering in the College of Natural and Applied Sciences has expanded its engineering programme by facilitating specialisations in electrical, mechanical and computer systems. On the horizon, however, the programme will not only include the BSc in engineering, but also an Associate of Science in Chemical Engineering.

NCU will be offering online courses from all colleges come August. Learning will be made more convenient for students enrolled in the College of Humanities, Behavioural and Social Sciences, Natural & Applied Sciences, business and hospitality management, education and leadership, applied health and nursing and the School of Religion and Theology. The programme was designed by one of the university's previous imagine cup teams in collaboration with the University Information Systems Services department and can be delivered in different languages.

Northern Caribbean University (NCU) will take its information session to the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Linstead at 2 p.m. on Sunday, August 2. Information sessions were previously hosted in several towns and cities across the island in response to the overwhelming need for information on NCU's programme offerings.

NCU is now accepting applications for the BSc in Criminal Justice. The programme, which is administered by the department of History, Geography and Social Sciences in the new College of Humanities, Behavioural and Social Sciences, will be offered at the main campus in Mandeville. Also to come on stream are the certificate in crime-security management, the Associate of Science in Crime and Security Management and the Associate of Science in Criminal Justice at the extension campuses in Salem, Runaway Bay; Montego Bay; and Kingston.

The programme seeks to provide appropriate training for individuals and to create an academic environment within which they can apply the most recent theoretical frameworks, techniques and practices within the criminal justice system.
