        8. Any Diploma in Science and Technology (Level 4, MQF) with a minimum CGPA of 2.75. Candidates with a CGPA below 2.75 but more than 2.00 may be admitted subject to a thorough internal evaluation process; OR
        9. Pass DKM /DLKM/DVM in Computing fields with a minimum CGPA of 2.50 subjected to HEP Senate / Academic Board’s approval. Candidates with CGPA below 2.50 but more than 2.00 must have at least two (2) years of work experience in the related field or may be admitted subject to a thorough internal evaluation process**;

  Note:

  * Candidates for category (b) need to take a reinforcement Mathematics with appropriate topics in the discipline of Computer Science, Data Science or Software Engineering at the beginning of the study.

  Students are required to pass the reinforcement Mathematics as a prerequisite before being allowed to take  related core courses. The candidate can sit for any subjects that did not indicate Mathematics as a pre-requisite.

  Reinforcement Mathematics can contribute to the overall graduating credit.

  Students from Matriculation/Foundation or its equivalent can be exempted from taking the Reinforcement Mathematics, provided that the Mathematics offered at that programme level is equivalent / more than the Additional Mathematics offered at an SPM level.

  ** DKM/DLKM/DVM candidates may be required to undergo Bridging Programme as an additional requirement.
