Programme structure

The BE(Hons) is split into four ‘Parts' that correspond to your year of study.

In Part I, you will be exposed to our nine available specialisations and study a broad base of engineering and professional fundamentals.

You will also select a General Education paper – this is a distinctive feature of our University's undergraduate programmes. General Education is designed to broaden your education. You will also have to complete an online academic integrity course.

Parts II, III and IV are customised according to your chosen specialisation. Along with your specialisation courses, you will study a common core of mathematical modelling, technical communication, and professional development. You will also pursue elective courses to explore the topics that interest you the most.

Practical work is an essential component of your degree. You will be required to complete a 40-hour workshop practice course in Part II, and 800 hours of practical work experience throughout your degree. Find out more about these compulsory practical components.
