Additional Admission Requirements
A Bachelor’s Degree (B Tech, BSc, or equivalent in related disciplines), or an Advanced Diploma (Mechanical Eng./related discipline), or a 3-year (minimum) Mechanical Engineering (B Tech Eng.) degree from a University programme accredited with the Engineering Council of South Africa and recognised within the Washington and/or Sydney Accords. In addition, a minimum of 60% average in the pre-requisite degree/advanced diploma with at least 60% average marks in the final year of that programme at NQF Level 7, are required. In cases where a candidate does not meet the 60% average, recognition of prior learning (RPL) in addition to the minimum admission qualification could be considered on a case-by-case situation. In other words, RPL in combination with the criteria stipulated above, would only grant prospective students admission to the programme and therefore no exemption of individual subjects as such. |

The B Eng. Tech (Hons) degree is a postgraduate qualification at NQF Level 8 which prepares students for industry and research to become either competent engineering technologists and/or engineers (upon completion of an accredited structured Master’s programme in addition to the B Eng. Tech (Hons)), that can be positioned as high level technical managers in industrial enterprises, both nationally and internationally. This qualification demands a high level of theoretical engagement and intellectual independence to solve complex engineering problems. The learning programme has a coherent core of mathematics, basic sciences and fundamental engineering sciences which provide a viable platform for further studies and lifelong learning.
- The BEngTech Hons (Mechanical) degree will provide students with a sound knowledge base in the mechanical engineering discipline and an understanding of engineering management principles whilst also equipping them to undertake more specialised post graduate studies and provides inter alia:
- Preparation for research careers in mechanical engineering itself and areas that potentially benefit from engineering skills and to make a contribution to the economy and national development;
- provide leadership and to manage projects in the application of technology in safety, health, engineering and commercially effective operations and have well-developed interpersonal skills;
- work independently and as a member or leader in a multi-disciplinary project, applying judgement to decisions arising in the application of technology and health and safety considerations to problems and associated risks.
