What it is

The first four semesters share a common foundation of calculus, probability, statistics, algorithms and the theory of computing, together with electronics and physics. Professional subjects then cover digital engineering, computer architecture, communication networks, operating systems, programming in C, C++ and Java, databases, software engineering, computer graphics, artificial intelligence and IT security. From semester five you specialise in either Software Engineering or Infocommunication. An eight-week internship and a thesis project complete the degree. Graduates move into a master's programme or into designing, building and running software and data systems.

What you need

  • No IB points rule: the Diploma counts as your school-leaving certificate and an English-medium school certificate can replace an English test. Entry turns on BME's own online tests.
