Admission requirements

Students entering this program must hold a Bachelor’s degree in a related field of study. Applicants with degrees in the following areas will be considered: computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering, physical sciences or mathematics. An undergraduate grade point average equivalent to a CGPA of at least 3.0 is normally required. (Foreign students can check foreign grades and detailed foreign grades to get some indication of their required grade.)

Prior to entry to the program all prospective students must provide evidence of

• English language competency (this only applies to students whose medium of instruction in undergraduate studies was not English)
• being computer literate (use of word processing, spreadsheets, web based products)
• If your English language competency is slightly below our requirement you may consider attending an ESL program at our College of Continuing Eduction.
• of having completed a course in one of Digital Logic or Circuits or Boolean Algebra
• having studied Fourier Analysis
• having successfully completed an introductory course in C++ or having demonstrable working experience with C++

Prospective students must provide evidence of having satisfactorily completed, within four years prior to their intended date of entry into our program, the undergraduate level course ENGM2032 Applied Probability and Statistics or its equivalent (for example, Stat 301 offered by distance by the University of Idaho.). The first morning of INWK 6211 (Prob and Stats) will be dedicated to an initial test on the prerequisite material.

Experience in the Internetworking industry will be a definite asset for all applicants. We expect to restrict class sizes.
