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:
a) The scale of the position (number of people, number of servers,
etc)
b) 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)
c) 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.
