Employers are looking for job seekers who have both domain expertise and Computer Science-related skills. Given this requirement, you should prepare yourself for the job market by taking a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science. It is a wise career decision and supports your successful entry into a range of occupations. It also opens doors well beyond the traditional confines of the IT department.

Computer Science-related skills are versatile. Once you learn the core principles of the discipline, building additional capabilities that a particular job requires becomes easier. Equip yourself with a Double Major Degree in Computer Science and Business Information Systems to gain competitive advantage.

Polytechnic Diploma holders receive exemptions and gain direct entry to Year 2 of the Degree1. You can complete your Degree in 16 months instead of 28 months2. You can look forward to starting your careers and earning sooner, possibly even one year earlier. You also have the flexibility to plan your schedule and study at your own pace even while you are working.
