The M Eng. (Mechanical) degree is a research-based postgraduate qualification at NQF Level 9 aiming towards the development of a candidate’s ability to conduct independent scientific and technological investigations and to interpret the results to lead to problem-solving capabilities in practice. The programme also prepares candidates for research careers in mechanical engineering itself and areas that would potentially benefit from advanced engineering skills. Fields of specialisation include additive manufacturing and energy.
