The graduates of the Program are equipped with the knowledge and skills to design, create, maintain and expand software systems that address a wide variety of applications including business and technical. They can work in software development companies and organisations that provide support for software services, fulfilling the requirements for employment in the public or private sectors as Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) Engineers, network/ system/ database/ security designers/ administrators, as well as educators in public or private secondary schools and are eligible to register to the Technical Chamber of Cyprus (ETEK).

Student Admission Requirements:
According to the University’s regulations, candidates for a bachelor degree program should submit a school leaving certificate from a recognized six-form secondary school (high school) with an average grade of 75% (Greek Cypriot secondary schools) or a grade “C” or its equivalent (other secondary schools), or equivalent qualification. Each School or Department can specify further admissions criteria such as a minimum average grade, or measures such as foundation courses for each program of study.

For the BSc in Computer Science program, all candidates must take a placement test in Mathematics and English, prior to their enrolment in the Program. Candidates who fail the placement test must enrol under a probational status and are required to register to relevant foundation courses. Student workload for these foundation courses is accounted in the total student workload, which is limited to the maximum of 30 ETCS per semester. During the probation period, a student cannot register in a program course for which a foundation course is considered a prerequisite. In such a case, students may take a reduced load.

Prior Learning Recognition and Transfer Admission:
Candidates who have graduated from a recognized six-form secondary school, and have completed university level work in an accredited program are eligible to apply for transfer admission. Such candidates should, along with their application form, submit the following documents:
• A six-form secondary school (high school) leaving certificate or equivalent qualification.
• Official transcripts (grade reports) and syllabi (course descriptions) for all University coursework taken to date.
Transcripts are evaluated by an ad-hoc Transfer Committee consisting of the Program Coordinator and two other academic staff members, in order to determine the number of credits to be transferred, in accordance with the BSc in Computer Science program curriculum requirements.
Transfer students, regardless of the number of credits transferred should complete at least 120 ECTS credits required by the program of study at Frederick University in order to be eligible for graduation. For a 4-year 240 ECTS program, a transfer student must complete a minimum of two year full time study (120 ECTS) in the BSc in Computer Science program in order to be eligible for graduation.

Recognition of Informal and Non-formal learning:
Recognising non-formal and informal learning helps make the Program of Study more socially inclusive, thus widening access opportunities for learners from professional life and a range of non-traditional learning environments. Candidates with a collection of materials that verify skills and knowledge acquired through previous experience in non-formal and informal learning, such as portfolios that include performance appraisals, CVs and other documents through non-formal and informal learning, professional certification examinations (i.e. CISCO, etc), or other non-University level examinations (i.e. A’ Levels, GCSE, IELTS, TOEFL, etc) are eligible to apply for transfer credits. According to the University’s regulations these candidates can apply for up to 10% of the total program ECTS credits which amounts to 24 ECTS credits.

Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
There are no specific examination regulations, assessment and grading methods employed by this Program. The examination regulations, assessment methods and grading system for this Program are the same as the relevant general university regulations.

Graduation Requirements
Students are eligible for graduation after successfully completing 240 ECTS credits in the courses listed in the Program Structure.
Furthermore, a student can graduate only if their CGPA is greater or equal to 5.00 out of 10.00. Graduating students with a CGPA less than 5.00 might have to take extra courses or repeat a number of courses in order to improve their grades.

Access to Further Studies
The graduates of the Program have access to graduate studies (2nd and 3rd Cycle) in disciplines related with the discipline of Computer Science, including Information Systems and Technologies, and Computer Engineering.
