Normally, you should have successfully completed an honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant subject and have appropriate work experience.
The standard entry requirement for the course is a BSc (Hons) in a Computing-related area, usually with a first or upper second class classification. For applicants without a first or upper second, a lower second degree will be considered on a case-by-case basis (particularly for candidates with good relevant industrial experience).
We'll be happy to consider your application if you have non-traditional entry qualifications and relevant experience or a suitable portfolio of work that we deem a reasonable substitute for the qualifications we typically accept for this course.
Applicants from related disciplines with relevant technical or professional experience are encouraged to apply.
We'll consider applications where appropriate work experience can be demonstrated in lieu of, or in addition to, the published academic qualifications in line with the Universitys Recognition of Prior Experiential Learning (RPEL) procedures.
You may be required to attend an interview and/or provide a portfolio of work.
*There may be different IELTS requirements depending on your chosen course.
