Programme details

The Bachelor of Science (BSc) Access Programme (AP) aims to enhance inclusivity by providing an opportunity for potential students who fall short of the admission criteria for a BSc in Information Technology (IT) (any specialisations) or a BSc in Computer Science (CS). Furthermore, the BSc AP aims to broaden access and ease the vertical progression of students from, but not limited to, the Quality Council for Trades and Occupations (QCTO), 
Sector Education and Training Authority (SETA), and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to either BSc IT (any specialisations) or BSc CS. The programme seeks to ensure that the academic success of students remains a central focus throughout their academic journey.
