University of Computer Studies, Yangon (UCSY)

Yangon · Public
SubjectsComputer Science & IT; Engineering & Technology; Natural Sciences; Mathematics & Statistics
AccreditationDepartment of Higher Education (DHE), Ministry of Education of Myanmar — operates under the State Administration Council (SAC), the military-led government in place since the 1 February 2021 coup d'état. The 1973 Universities Education Law and subsequent amendments govern Myanmar HE structure. CRITICAL CONTEXT: Since the February 2021 coup, Myanmar HE has been in severe disruption. Many faculty and students joined the Civil Disobedience Movement (CDM), refusing to work under the military regime; some faculty are in exile or detained. The parallel National Unity Government (NUG, claiming democratic legitimacy) has launched alternative education initiatives including Spring University Myanmar and distance-based displaced-education programmes. INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION CONCERN: Some countries and international institutions have raised concerns about recognising post-2021 Myanmar degrees given the disruption to faculty composition and academic standards; students should verify specific destination-country recognition before enrolling. Pre-2021, Myanmar was a member of regional ASEAN HE quality frameworks; current status of these participations is uncertain.

Questions

How many universities are listed in Myanmar?

AlmiStudy currently records 5 universities in Myanmar. This reflects what has been verified; it is not padded and may grow as more are confirmed.

Are these universities officially recognised?

Each entry names the national authority to verify with. AlmiStudy records information to help you check recognition — it is not itself an accreditation body and does not endorse any institution.

Is AlmiStudy free?

Yes. AlmiStudy is part of AlmiWorld and is free to use. The wider project supports the Shamool Foundation, a free school for street children in Lahore.

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).
