Dear Dr. Leong,
I am a M.Eng. stuent of MAE.
Is it easy for a MAE student to change his field to C ...

I assume that MAE = Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering? It actually doesn't matter. The GDipSA programme is designed to convert anybody to an IT career. It's not designed to take you to a PhD programme. Our masters degrees are also professional masters, not research masters, degrees so they prepare you for a working life, not a PhD.

Whether it's easy for you to convert from MAE to CS PhD depends on you more than it depends on your background. My PhD is not in the same area as my undergraduate degree - what it meant was that in my first year, I studied twice as hard as everybody else to catch up.

Dear Dr. Leong:
I joined the exam of GDipSA yesterday in Shanghai. I want to know if I want a Maste ...

The GDipSA and Masters programme are totally different programmes. We normally require that our Masters students have at least a few years of working experience. But we will accept top students without working experience.

Quite a few of our GDipSa students come back to do a part-time masters with ISS. They work for a while then come back because they know they got a very good education with the GDipSA so they trust us and they come back for the Masters.

I answered the first part in another post above. You need to work very hard (during and after you graduate from ISS) but you must also improve your language skills, presentation skills and writing skills.

I don't think there is a problem for non-professional students. Many of the startups today are started by non-technical people. They are the ones with the dreams and the ideas. But they need partners who are technical and together they can create things that neither person can do by themselves.

Dear sir, what's the difference between KE and the new major EBAC?

EBAC (Enterprise Business Analytics) is designed to create data scientists - the people who ask the right kind of questions that are answered by the right data. You do not have to be a programmer to be a data scientist. Many are mainly tool users - using software systems in an interactive manner.

The KE degree is slightly different in that we teach the students to build the software systems to do the same thing. So must be more programming oriented.

So both are related to Business Analytics, but EBAC is for the end-user and KE is for the intelligent system developer.

I'm sorry but I don't know the proportion of international students at NUS.

However, for ISS, we have a large number of international students. Our students are either part-time or full-time. Most of the part-time students are local, and most of the full-time masters students are international students.

I'm preparing for the certification exams of SAS. Could a good degree in SAS be a plus for my application to ECBA?

When we evaluate the applications for EBAC, we do not look at certifications unless you meet the other requirements. However, if you get admitted to the MTech EBAC and you have experience with SAS, it will be very helpful for you.

No, we do not provide English communication or writing skills for IT industry. The main reason is that you need practice in speaking English and in writing English not more lessons. If you come to NUS-ISS, I strongly recommend that you become fully immersed in English - speak English with your fellow students, watch English TV and read English books/newspapers. That is the only way to improve. Even today, I listen to the BBC radio every morning and try and get my own children to listen to it.

However, the university as a whole does have some help for English writing and communication but most of it is for undergraduates. They will help if you are writing your resume for a job, or preparing for an interview, but that is only once off. It doesn't improve your English language skills.
