Prior Degree Students

 

There are a number of options for students who already have a degree in a discipline other than Computer Science, and wish to get a degree in Computer Science as a second degree.

You could complete all the course requirements for a BSc in Computer Science (see Options 1 or 2). However, if your first degree is a professional degree such as Engineering or Business, you are eligible for a Concurrent degree (see Option 3).

Students interested in our Master's program should refer to Option 4.

Option 1: second degree is a general BSc in Computer Science

Option 2: second degree is an Honours BSc in Computer Science

Option 3: Concurrent Degree: Computer Science after a Professional Degree

Option 4: Master's Program in Computer Science - It is possible to apply to a Master's program in Computer Science if you already have an honours degree in a discipline other than Computer Science, once you have satisfied the requirements outlined in the section " Entry into Master's Program for Students with a Prior Degree outside Computer Science".
