The University of Computer Studies, Yangon (UCSY) (Burmese: ရန်ကုန်ကွန်ပျူတာတက္ကသိုလ်[jàɰ̃ɡòʊɰ̃ kʊ̀ɰ̃pjùtà tɛʔkəθò]), located in the outskirts of Yangon in Hlawga, is the leading IT and computer science university of Myanmar.[1] The university, administered by the Ministry of Education, offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in computer science and technology. The language of instruction at UCSY is English. Along with the University of Computer Studies, Mandalay, UCSY is one of two premier universities specializing in computer studies, and also one of the most selective universities in the country.
UCSY's origins trace back to the founding of the Universities' Computer Center (UCC) in 1971 at the Hlaing Campus of Yangon University. Equipped with ICLICL 1902S and with the help of distinguished visiting professors from US, UK and Europe, UCC provided computer education and training to university and government employees.[3] In 1973, it began offering a master's degree program (MSc in Computer Science), and a graduate diploma program (Diploma in Automated Computing) in cooperation with the Mathematics Department of Yangon University.[4] The center added DECPDP-11/70 mini-computers in 1983, and personal computers in 1990. In 1986, the center added B.C.Sc. (Bachelor of Computer Science) and B.C.Tech. (Bachelor of Computer Technology) degree programs.[3]
In March 1988, the Institute of Computer Science and Technology (ICST) was established, and began offering bachelor's degree programs in Computer Science. In 1993, it started an internationally accepted International Diploma in Computer Studies (IDCS) program with the help of UK's the National Computing Centre (NCC). On 1 January 1997, the university's control was transferred from the Ministry of Education to the Ministry Science and Technology.[3] On 1 July 1998, it was renamed the University of Computer Studies, Yangon.[4] A graduate school with master's and PhD degree programs was established in May 2001.[2]
