Admissions
Empowering
Our purpose is to help create engineers who will change the world; we do this by creating an admission process that allows us to find students with a demonstrated ability to excel academically, adapt to new ideas and invent. We begin by developing creativity, leadership skills, and ways to solve problems in our students' first introductory courses and continue this throughout their entire academic career. We give them the confidence they need to succeed in rapidly changing, technology based careers.
Admission Process
A fair and transparent admission method that helps students by using their academic history and any entrance tests is the overall approach. The process follows a structured application and selection process, with assistance in the form of counselling and academic orientation to assist in guiding all candidates through the admission process. The entire admission process ensures that every student will receive an impartial evaluation, be contacted in a timely manner and be provided with consistent support as they begin their studies in various engineering fields.
Eligibility Criteria
The prerequisites for application include achieving the necessary qualifications in relevant science and mathematics subjects at an appropriate level, along with possessing sufficient basic knowledge and analytical ability. The eligibility framework outlines the criteria that will be used to determine if a student has the appropriate foundational knowledge and analytical ability to apply to an engineering programme. Candidates must demonstrate that they have met both institutional criteria as well as the applicable regulatory requirements related to the type of engineering programme they wish to pursue.
