Admission Requirements
Academic Requirements
You need the following GPA score:
Applicants for graduate programs must have the equivalent of a bachelor\xe2\x80\x99s degree with a minimum GPA equivalent to 3 on a US 4.0 grading scale. Admitted applicants typically have an undergraduate GPA of or better on a 4.0 scale. No exam grade should be lower than 4.5 (European grade scale) or D (American grade scale).
Your GPA (Grade Point Average) is calculated using the grades that you received in each course, and is determined by the points assigned to each grade (e.g. for the US grading scale from A-F).
- Evidence of competence to begin graduate study. Such evidence should include either an undergraduate GPA of at least 3.0 (on a 4.0 scale), satisfactory GRE scores (a total of at least 1050 for verbal and quantitative, with at least 400 on each or 146 Verbal, 146 Quantitative, 292 (Verbal + Quantitative) on the Revised GRE after August 1, 2011), or a professional record that demonstrates readiness for graduate study in computer science.
- Coursework in computer science. The equivalent of a major in computer science is expected. Students lacking this background may be required to complete (with a B- or higher in each course) a sequence of undergraduate foundation courses in computer science and mathematics. Related professional experience, such as programming, systems analysis, and/or systems design may be substituted for some foundation courses.
- For international students, a TOEFL score of at least 79 (Internet based), 213 (computer based), or 550 (paper) is required as well as a GRE verbal score of at least 400, a GRE quantitative score of at least 400, and a total of at least 1050 for verbal plus quantitative.
- Three letters of recommendation should be submitted that evaluate the applicant\xc2\x92s academic ability, professional maturity, and communication skills.
English Proficiency: IELTS 6.5 or equivalent.
