Your undergraduate qualification should be in a relevant area such as engineering, information technology or business. In addition, your transcript must show at least 30 credit points from modules in business, IT and/or engineering. If you do not have the full 30 credit points, you may still qualify by passing a subject-related interview that covers the missing content.
