Founded in 1982, the University of the French West Indies serves Guadeloupe and Martinique (French overseas departments in the Caribbean). Approximately 11,000 students. Campuses in Pointe-à-Pitre (Guadeloupe) and Schoelcher (Martinique). 🕯️ Honest context: French Caribbean territories carry the historical legacy of slavery — France abolished slavery in 1848 after centuries of brutal plantation economy. Contemporary social and economic disparities persist; Caribbean studies and decolonial scholarship are actively taught.
Always confirm a university's current accreditation with
the named national authority, and that the qualification is recognised in
the country where you intend to use it, before enrolling or paying any
fees. AlmiStudy records information to help you check — it is not an
endorsement.
Why this is free
AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld. It is free because its purpose is to
help people find their way to education — and the wider project
supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in
Lahore (60 students, lunch, books and uniforms provided).
