About the School

This unit was created in 2003 to mobilise the institutional resources at the Turkeyen and Berbice Campuses to provide a range of academic, professional and extension programmes.  These are additional to the regular intra-mural programming, but serve both the regular student population and special interest groups in need of professional advancement.

These offerings are therefore two-fold. The School is responsible for administering the University’s virtual Third Semester; i.e. all the “summer courses” offered by the various Faculties which allow students to make up course credits or to repeat courses to complete their programmes.

The School is also responsible for one-off courses and programmes developed by the Faculties which are customised to meet the needs of specific clientele seeking specialized professional qualification or training.
