Joint Program (2+2) in Computer Science

ϳԹ and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China

Overview

A student who successfully completes this four-year program of study, will be awarded a either a Bachelor of Computer Science or a Bachelor of Computer Science with Honours from (DAL), Halifax, Canada and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC).

  • The first two years are taught at UESTC.
  • The following two years are taught at DAL.
  • Admission to the DAL portion of the program requires:
  • A student enrolled in the program may be permitted to take the Co-operative Education option if he or she satisfies the English language requirement for unconditional admission. A student who completes all degree requirements as well as the co-op requirements will be awarded either a Bachelor of Computer Science (Co-operative Education) or a Bachelor of Computer Science with Honours (Co-operative Education).
  • Depending on elective selections, DAL will also award a certificate in one of the following four :

How to Apply

Your application for admission to Phase 1, Year 4 of the program at DAL can be submitted online. To start the application process, you will create a username and password that you can use to return to your application at any time.

The online application system is generic, so although it is quite straightforward, there are some things you need to do that may not be obvious:

  • On the “Select an Application Type” page:
    • choose “ϳԹUndergrad Group A”
  • On the "Apply for Admissions" page:
    • "Last name" is your family name (usually first in Chinese name order)
    • "First name" is your own name (usually last in Chinese name order)
  • On the "International Information" page
    • Select visa type "Study Permit (Student Visa)”
  • On the "Planned Course of Study" page
    • Select "Visiting Student - Requires Letter of Permission"
    • In the first text box enter:
      • Dalhousie/UESTC 2+2/XX [where XX is CS, NS, IE, ST or AN, indicating your UESTC program of study]
        Computer Science

When you have finished, you will click a link at the end of the process to indicate that your application is complete. You will need to pay the application fee. You will get an email from ϳԹabout the documents required, which will include:

  • English test results. You need to arrange for this to be sent directly to DAL by the English language testing service.
  • Your UESTC transcript (in English). You need to arrange for this to be sent directly to DAL by UESTC.

The university may ask for other documents as well.
