Guyana - academic equivalencies

Undergraduate

We require a Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) in any of the following subjects: Accounting, Biology, Chemistry, French, History, Literature in English, Mathematics, Physics, or Spanish. 

If the student has taken any other subjects or other qualifications entirely, these are not considered to be equivalent to the GCE A-level and an international foundation year would need to be completed in advance of undergraduate admission.
