Am I eligible to apply for NUS Btech?

[lonelytea]

I am a 20y/o M who is about to ORD. I have always enjoyed IT related CCAs and have always dreamed of joining NUS's school of computing. But harsh reality is that my A Levels grade are not good enough. I could not make it.

I chanced upon this link in the NUS website while looking for any opportunities to learn coding there.

http://scale.nus.edu.sg/programmes/btech-comp.html

I read through the page and understood that the BTech degree programme is designed mainly for polytechnic graduates who are working in the local industry and are working adults. One of the admission requirement also states that individuals with foreign qualifications equivalent to the local polytechnic diploma can also be considered for admission

My question is : Is A Levels considered to be equivalent and will I be able to join it? I may not be be able to experience university like the fulltime students but I just want an opportunity to learn and study about code in NUS. Please give me your honest opinion thank you!!

btech is aimed at working adults, not a way to backdoor to NUS. Because of poor a levels results. My understanding is unlikely to get in. Nonetheless you can still try your luck and apply.

Whether they admit you or not depends on funding. bTech Is funded by moe, and moe imposed certain restrictions. (Must be working and work relevant to course, aim is really to improve the currency of the workforce, not to backdoor)

I suggest you to attend their 12 Jan 2019 preview session.
