Recommended Learning Pathway
To graduate within four years, learners will need to complete one micro-credential or elective each trimester. Learners with relevant work experience may seek recognition of prior learning during the application process. Learners with a relevant polytechnic diploma may be exempted from the Engineering Experience Modules and enter directly into Year 2 of the programme.
Learners who enter Year 1 will complete 30 credits of Workforce Essentials carried out over four trimesters, while learners who enter Year 2 will complete 20 credits of Workforce Essentials carried out over two trimesters.
In-employment learners can embark on a capstone project upon completing at least five micro-credentials.
The following illustrates a suggested learning pathway to graduate in less than four years:
Learners who desire more flexibility in balancing work and studies have up to six years to complete the degree.
