MComp (General Track): Admission Requirements
Important: The University has not engaged any external agencies to undertake graduate student recruitment on its behalf. Applicants interested in our graduate programmes are advised to apply directly to the University and not through any agents. Applicants who apply through agents will not have any added advantage in gaining admission and the University reserves the right to reject such applications without giving reasons.
Admission Criteria
The MComp (General Track) programme is suitable for applicants with non-computing degrees. The value of computing expertise in the workforce has increased sharply in recent years, fuelling enthusiasm and interest in the field among candidates across all sectors and backgrounds. However, there were few avenues to pursue a postgraduate degree in computing for many individuals without having a related degree. The MComp (General Track) programme is designed to provide opportunities for these candidates to enhance their computing knowledge and reposition themselves in their respective industries as competent IT professionals.
To be admitted into the programme, applicants should possess a good honours degree or equivalent in any discipline.
The above admission requirement is the minimum requirement. Admission is on a competitive basis and preference will be given to applicants with IT related job experiences.
