About this programme
The program leading to the Master of Science degree in mechanical engineering requires completion of a minimum of 30 points of approved coursework consisting of no fewer than ten courses. In general, attainment of the degree requires one academic year of full-time study, although it may also be undertaken on a part-time basis, for domestic students, over a correspondingly longer period. A minimum grade-point average of 2.5 is required for graduation. A thesis based on either experimental, computational, or analytical research is optional and may be counted in lieu of up to 6 points of coursework.
