Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I apply for the BSc (Hons) in Applied Computing degree (via the CSM Pathway) at any time?
You may apply for the degree programme during the annual admission cycle.
-
How does stacking to a degree work?
Our BSc (Hons) in Applied Computing degree (via the CSM Pathway) offers a flexible and modular structure comprising two foundational micro-credentials in Applied Computing, four specialised micro-credentials in key areas of the field, and two elective micro-credentials (or two specialised micro-credentials in its place). Relevant micro-credentials that you obtain can be stacked progressively to complete this degree.
In addition to SIT’s micro-credentials, your pathway to a degree will also take into account other prior learning such as industry certifications or competencies acquired from work, which will provide you with credit or exemptions.
-
Who is eligible to apply for the degree programme?
Only in-employment individuals will be considered.
If you are interested in the micro-credentials, but are currently not employed, you can consider enrolling in individual micro-credentials offered by SITLEARN Professional Development. You may enrol in the degree subsequently when your employment status has changed.
-
Do I need to take micro-credentials in a particular order?
Although we provide a recommended study pathway for the degree programme , you are not required to take micro-credentials in a prescribed order. SIT will state the recommended baseline competencies that an individual should have before embarking on a micro-credential.
-
How long does it take to complete one micro-credential?
It takes one trimester (3+ months) to complete a micro-credential.
-
If I already possess industry certifications or relevant work experience, will these be taken into account during the application process?
Yes. In addition to SIT’s micro-credentials, your application will also take into account other prior learning such as industry certifications or competencies acquired from work, providing you with credit or exemptions.
-
Is there a time frame to complete the degree?
You would need to complete your degree within 5 years. If you have completed individual micro-credentials offered by SITLEARN, each micro-credential is valid for 5 years when used for enrolling into the degree.
-
I’m interested in other areas of computing. Will you be offering other micro-credentials?
SIT regularly reviews its curriculum to ensure that it remains industry-relevant. We are looking to expand the list of micro-credentials.
-
What is the structure of micro-credentials?
Micro-credentials are largely taught asynchronously, which gives you the flexibility to learn whenever and wherever you choose. While each micro-credential combines online and in-person delivery, the learning activities vary for each micro-credential.

Are there any interviews or additional assessments as part of the admission process?
Yes, there will be interviews and additional assessments such as the Academic Aptitude Assessment.
