Degree programmes in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science and communications engineering are known to provide such background, but a Bachelor's degree in one of these majors does not guarantee acceptance to the programme. And the opposite is also true: students with degrees other than those listed above will be considered for acceptance if their transcripts show that they have a solid background in the fields of information and communication engineering. All degree certificates and transcripts are carefully analysed by a committee in order to ascertain whether the candidate has the right background for the programme
