The Associate of Science in Computer Science is a semester-based undergraduate programme run by the University of Guyana's Faculty of Technology. Entry normally requires five CSEC or IGCSE/GCE O-level passes, including English Language, Mathematics and Information Technology, though the university also accepts a Trained Teacher's Certificate, a Critchlow Labour College award, a technical diploma, or mature-age candidates who pass the University of Guyana Entrance Examination.
Coursework opens with foundational computing subjects such as Discrete Mathematics for Computer Science and Introduction to Programming, alongside a general elective and an English communication course, before progressing into further programming and computing modules in the Second Year. Students without a prior IT background are directed into a dedicated computer-literacy course before continuing.
The programme suits school leavers and working adults in Guyana seeking a credentialed entry point into computing, whether as a terminal qualification or as a foundation for further study toward the university's Bachelor of Science in Computer Science.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Requires at least five CSEC General Proficiency passes (Grades I, II or III) or IGCSE/GCE O-level passes (Grades A-C), including English Language, Mathematics and CSEC Information Technology; students lacking CSEC IT or EDPM must take and pass UGC1101 Computer Literacy 1. Alternative routes include a Trained Teacher's Certificate (Secondary Mathematics), a Critchlow Labour College certificate plus a pass in the University of Guyana Entrance Examination (UGEE), an Ordinary Diploma in Computer Science or Science with Credit at GTEE level, or mature-age entry (21 years and over) with a UGEE pass. Equivalent qualifications are considered individually.
