Undergraduate Programs
Overview
The school offers a course leading to the degree Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honors). The course involves four years of full-time study post Grade 12 entry. More background information about the course can be found in the link below.
The school admits students to its First Year Engineering programme with minimum requirements of B in Mathematics (extension) and Physics, and C in English, or equivalent. Students with strong backgrounds in mathematics are given preference.
Minimum grades of requirements are:
- English – B
- Major mathematics (Maths A) – B
- Physics – B
- Chemistry – B
- Physics – B
Intake Quota:
- School Leavers – 40
- Non-School Leavers – 5
- International – 5
School Leavers:
STAT_P Test Score is a requirement for School Leavers (SL)
School leavers apply through the normal School Leavers Form (SLF) applications.
Non-school leavers:
Tentatively accepted non-school leavers are required to sit for an entrance examination. The
final admission into the program will depend on their performance on the entrance
examination (minimum average score of 70%). The entrance examination consists of similar
questions for grade 12 examinations on the core subjects, such as Major Mathematics,
Physics, English, and Chemistry.
