Further Studies
After completion of ASIT, students may continue to study for a Bachelor's Degree in the computing area. However, to maximize the number of credits that can be transferred to the degree programme, please take care in selecting courses for the ASIT.
Method 1: Direct Articulation
Articulation to Bachelor of Computing with Honours in Internet Technology (BCOMPHIT) is possible.
Take great care in your selection of courses in ASIT if a student wishes to articulate to BCOMP/BCOMPHIT. You should ensure that the courses you take for ASIT could be counted towards the BCOMP/BCOMPHIT programmes.
- Take ITS101 as a Foundation level course.
- Avoid taking BISB121/BISB123 as a Foundation level course.
- Avoid taking ELEC S212 as a Middle level course.
- Take at most one from ITS234 and ELEC S211 as a Middle level course.
Method 2: Pathways (Preferred Method)
With your ASIT qualification, apply for entry into one of the following pathways:
- Bachelor of Computing with Honours in Internet Technology Pathway 1 (BCOMPHIT1) or Bachelor of Computing Pathway 1 (BCOMP1)
- Avoid taking COMPS359 for part (b) in the ASIT requirement.
- Avoid taking the set of 4 courses COMPS201, COMPS258, COMPS260, and COMPS263 for part (b) in the ASIT requirement. In other words, one of the four courses should not be taken for ASIT.
- Bachelor of Science with Honours in Computing and Networking Pathway 1 (BSCHCN1) or Bachelor of Science in Computing and Networking Pathway 1 (BSCCN1)
- Avoid taking COMPS359 for part (b) in the ASIT requirement.
Successful applicants will follow the pathways' programme requirements to study for the degree.
