Admission requirements

Eligibility

Applicants interested in being considered for admission need to have academic backgrounds in disciplines/professions relevant to the study major of interest, and are required to substantiate their keen interest in continuing their careers in areas relevant to sustainable energy engineering. Suitable academic backgrounds include mechanical engineering, applied physics, and areas of electrical/chemical engineering relevant to power generation/distribution, and/or energy utilization. Applicants should hold Bachelor of Science (BSc), or Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degrees in relevant disciplines -or documented equivalents thereof (degrees equivalent to 8 semesters of study, at least). Equivalency will be evaluated at the Faculty commission for diploma validation based on academic achievements and profile, as well as pertinent professional experience.

It is imperative that applicants have a sound knowledge of basic engineering sciences, including engineering thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, mathematics and numerical methods. Since male students are traditionally most numerously represented in this field of studies, female candidates are especially encouraged to apply for enrolment.
