Applicants who have an undergraduate degree and work in the IT industry will be accepted and given preference in the ranking of applications.
-
Applicants who do not have a degree need to provide as much information as possible about their skills and work in the IT industry in order to allow the course coordinator to accurately assess the relative merits of each case. These applications are ranked and the best are made offers of admission.
-
Proof of qualifications is required in all cases. While testamurs and certificates are often the tangible end products of various studies, they are not always the most useful documents. Make sure that you provide transcripts or certificates, which give specific details of subjects studied. Industry certificates for example should show the specific exams, which were passed. This is especially important if applying for credit.

The above comment applies equally to partly completed studies, which will also be taken into consideration.
Employment history should indicate the exact nature of the work undertaken. Do not assume that the course coordinator understands what is involved simply by stating the job title. Senior Network Administrator for example, has vastly different interpretations in various contexts. Provide details about:
-
The scale of the position (number of people, number of servers, etc)
-
The seniority of the position (number of people reporting to you, the ranking in the organization’s hierarchy, grade or status of the position etc)
-
The value of the work carried out.
-
The aim is to provide as much relevant information to give an accurate ranking to the application. A lack of detail may result in the application being rejected or delayed while additional information is sought.
