Introduction
Programme Aims and Objectives
- To educate students to excel in advanced mechanical engineering discipline as well as to extend the boundaries of their professional competence to meet the needs of future industrial development.
- To provide opportunities for students to develop leadership and creativity by engaging in interactive learning environments and management studies.
Key Facts
- Mode of Study: Combined †
- Mode of Funding: Non-government-funded
- Indicative Intake Target: 62
- Minimum Number of Credits Required: 30
- Class Schedule: Weekday evenings and Saturday afternoons (day session if necessary)
- Normal Study Period:
- Full-time: 1 year
- Part-time/Combined mode^: 2 years
- Maximum Study Period:
- Full-time: 2.5 years
- Part-time/Combined mode: 5 years
- Mode of Processing:
- Applications are processed on a rolling basis. Review of applications will start before the deadline and continue until all places are filled. Early applications are therefore strongly encouraged.
Remarks:
^ If a student opts for taking dissertation to complete the programme study, the normal duration for graduation will be 1.5 years.
† Combined mode: Local students taking programmes in combined mode can attend full-time (12-18 credit units per semester) or part-time (no more than 11 credit units per semester) study in different semesters without seeking approval from the University. For non-local students, they will be admitted to these programmes for either full-time or part-time studies. Non-local students must maintain the required credit load for their full-time or part-time studies and any changes will require approval from the University.
