HE Level ‘H’ (Honours), National Qualifications Framework (NQF) Level: 6.
The Pre-Master’s programme is designed to enable students to quickly bridge the gap between their existing qualifications and a master’s programme. Students will upgrade their English language ability to a level suitable for master’s entrance, while also being introduced to studying IT subjects through the medium of English.
Entry Requirements
Students holding a non-honours degree or Chinese Da Zhuan (or equivalent) in a relevant subject can enter the Pre-Master’s in Information Technology directly. Students with a full honours degree in a relevant subject can take the shorter Master’s Preparation programme.
For both programmes, students only need to have a minimum English language level of IELTS 5.0 (or equivalent.) The NCC Education English Placement Test (EPT) is available for those students not holding alternative English language certification.
Students with higher IELTS scores may also be eligible for exemptions from programme modules, meaning they can complete the programme more quickly.
