Relevant work experience following a Diploma may allow us to apply a lower grades requirement. We are currently seeking to arrange standard entrance criteria for applicants from key institutions. In practice, we will apply similar criteria to applicants from other Singapore Polytechnics, in anticipation of these arrangements being formalized. Applicants with other qualifications are invited to apply, and will be considered on an individual basis. The British Computer Society, the UK society for computer professionals working in information systems engineering, recognises both our BSc with Honours in Computing Science and Software Engineering for exemption from Parts I and II of its entrance requirements.
