Applicants must satisfy the University's General Entrance Requirements and the following programme entrance requirements:

• Hold a degree in engineering or equivalent;
• Applicants must have mechanical engineering or related engineering academic background.

Note: Final year undergraduate students who will acquire the requisite academic qualification before the commencement of the programme may apply for admission.

English Proficiency Requirement

Applicants whose entrance qualification is obtained from an institution where the medium of instruction is not English should also fulfill the following minimum English proficiency requirement:

• TOEFL score of 550 (paper-based test) or 59 (revised paper-delivered test) or 79 (internet-based test); or
• Overall band score 6.5 in International English Language Testing System (IELTS); or
• Score 450 in the College English Test (CET-6); or
• Other equivalent qualifications.

Students may obtain the MSc degree either by completing (30 credit units):
