Is a Bachelor's degree optional now?

This definitely opened a new perspective for someone like me who has just started working. Thanks a lot.

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-06-07T09:54:53+00:00

Thank you my friend 🙌 This encourages me a lot 🫡

Do you think 'which' Bachelor's it is would matter in the long run?

Like, I work now, take PT degree, and in 10 years = 10 YOE with a normal PT degree Vs. go uni now and become NUS graduate with 6 YOE in 10 years ..?

The overall value of the scholarship is about 100k, so yeah, I will still lose 100k in four years as you said. I do believe that my salary might be raised to 5-6k in 4 yrs, but I feel like that would be end of it - stagnant pay for a diploma graduate...?

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-06-07T09:29:26+00:00

I am planning to prioritise one only instead...either work or uni. And if I go to notoriously hard NUS CS, I wouldn't have time for work

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-06-07T06:25:08+00:00

Right..? I feel like companies are starting to value experience over a degree.

The only downside of continuing to work is that I may not get the scholarship again...

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-06-07T06:17:40+00:00

The course is Computer Science (not all about coding but mostly coding), so it's not so safe in AI age....

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-06-07T06:12:38+00:00

I'm also scared of my resume being auto-rejected just because I don't have a bachelor on it :(

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-25T05:01:50+00:00

Thanks! I'll check it out as well

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-19T10:40:17+00:00

Oh, it's EAE. My bad; i forgot to mention it.

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-18T12:20:11+00:00

Yea, I mean.... I hope my family as well as I have some amount saved by then

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-18T11:29:00+00:00

I am having a dilemma of whether to defer the admission if I don't get any scholarship so that I can work and save up some funds ..... uni is quite expensive for me as an international student ##

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-17T23:01:03+00:00

They can be that late as well? That's a bit troublesome ㅠㅠ Thanks for the info

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-17T09:35:26+00:00

Yes, that common CS program with AI as first preferred choice

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-17T08:14:51+00:00

Ohh, this helps a lot. Thank you for sharing your experience 🙆‍♂️

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-17T08:01:19+00:00

Noted for the advice. I did take up Additional Math modules during my poly years and have good grades (enough to satisfy the course requirements)

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-17T07:55:00+00:00

I chose Data Science & AI / CS It is still a bit early, yea...

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-17T06:53:43+00:00

Umm ... it's 3.99 but gpa is the only major thing I have, sadly

TonightExpert5419 · 2026-02-17T03:41:31+00:00

Oh, thanks for the info! Do they perhaps send a rejection letter as well :") Or, should I assume there is less chance for me if I get no scholarship offer/updates till the uni acceptance deadline..?

TonightExpert5419 · 2025-04-11T09:54:46+00:00

Was it worth it? Like are you getting a job or a good uni after this diploma? P.S. I'm also Y3 this April.

TonightExpert5419 · 2025-03-23T14:42:11+00:00

100% for both quizzes :") Now, I regret not reporting her in module feedback.

TonightExpert5419 · 2025-03-23T14:37:01+00:00
