To qualify for admission to the full-time bachelor program a student first has to take a national exam in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Then only those with highest scores are selected, with the average number of selected students being 250 per year.

To qualify for the degree of Bachelor of Engineering a student has to complete a program of coursework, comprising subjects of general and foundation knowledge and specialised subjects in Computer Science and Engineering, and successfully defend a graduation thesis to an examination committee. It normally takes 4 years and a half (i.e., 9 semesters) to finish

The Department also offers its bachelor degree program for those people who already held a bachelor degree of the disciplines that have the same general and foundation subjects as those of Computer Science and Engineering. This is called the second degree of Bachelor of Engineering. To qualify for admission to this program a student has to pass a departmental exam in Mathematics, Programming and English.

To qualify for this second degree of Bachelor of Engineering a student has to complete a program of coursework comprising only specialised subjects in Computer Science and Engineering and successfully defend a graduation thesis to an examination committee. It normally takes 3 years (i.e., 6 semesters) to finish.

In terms of the required subjects and thesis and the normal study period, the offered Bachelor of Engineering degree could be considered equivalent to Diploma of Engineer or Honour Bachelor degree in some institutions overseas

Then only about 25 candidates with highest qualifications are selected for the program each year. The preferred fields of undergraduate study for candidates seeking admission to the master program are in Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Mathematics. Applicants from other engineering or natural science fields are considered if they have satisfactorily fulfilled 6 transfer courses, namely, Data Structures and Algorithms, Operating Systems, Artificial Intelligence, Database Systems, Computer Architecture, and Programming Languages.

To qualify for the degree of Master of Engineering in Computer Science, a student must satisfactorily complete a program of coursework and successfully defend a graduation thesis to an examination committee. The minimum period of full-time attendance required for the master degree is 2 years (i.e., 4 semesters).

To qualify for admission to the Doctor of Philosophy’s program in Computer Science and Engineering, a candidate must

The doctoral program is by research only. To qualify for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science and Engineering, a student must satisfactorily complete a dissertation carried out in the minimum period of 3 years (i.e., 6 semesters) and successfully defend it to an examination committee. Research topics can be in the fields Information Systems, Software Engineering, Parallel Computing, Computer Architecture, and Artificial Intelligence
