You can play around with

Of course it's not firm, best to have your stuff officially evaluated.
Hey thank you for that. I gave it a go and got the same results. But I highly doubt it's accurate lol

A full A level cert (Ds and above) gets you around 24 credit hours (again, you'll need to get your stuff evaluated) Not sure how much you'll get from a poly diploma.
Also, just an FYI, you might find it a challenge to get employed in civil service using a HES degree. They actually know HES is a part time DL degree.
If you're looking to enter IT, maybe you could consider the UMass second degree in IT program (I have a friend who graduated from James Cook who's doing it now. They accepted his 3 year psychology degree.)

Anyways, good luck
- i'm from SG as well.
I actually went from O's to CC then to the Australian uni so I don't have a diploma nor A's. I'm not intending to get employed in the civil service so that's fine. I think won't go for HES' ALB.
I think I may go with getting a 4-year degree via the big3 first then think about grad school. That's probably the fastest and most cost effective route.
My 3-year bachelor degree from Australia consists of all IT classes and 1 math class. I also have an intro to biology, comp. and reading, and intro to programming from 2 CCs. The classes from Australia were in 2000-2002 and the CC classes were in 1999. That would make them 16-17 years old. If I want to get a computer science degree from one of the big3, would they still transfer just fine? I read a post on this forum that classes that old may not transfer into the AOS.
Is it possible to send all my transcripts to the big3 and find out how much can be transferred before I enroll?
Thanks
