You must have completed an undergraduate engineering degree at a recognised university (or similar institution), in a field similar to your intended specialisation.
You will need a GPE of 4.0 (65%-69.9%).
If you do not meet the GPE requirement, you can still gain entry by passing 60 points towards the Postgraduate Certificate in Engineering with a GPA of 4.0.
In exceptional circumstances, the university will consider you for entry if you have completed an undergraduate degree and have three years of work experience in engineering.
Software engineers are employed in a wide range of sectors, including ICT, commerce, industry, government, health, education and entertainment.
Software engineers also find opportunities in dedicated consultancy firms, so their work often extends beyond programming: they are involved in designing solutions, financial discussions and even directing teams.
Management positions are not out of reach for software engineers, due to their understanding of project management principles.
