The first two years of study are common to each of the three branches – Mechanical, Industrial and Aeronautical. In the third and fourth years of study, the courses that students take are specialised towards their chosen branch. In addition, there are two further options available:

• Nuclear Engineering: After completing a 3 year BSc following a fixed curriculum (partially made up of courses taken from the first two years of mechanical engineering), students may enter the Mechanical Engineering stream in the third year. These students will graduate after 5 years of study with both a BSc and a BSc (Eng), specialising in Nuclear Engineering.

• Industrial Engineering with focus: Students who have completed two years of study in another engineering stream may enter directly into the third year of Industrial Engineering. This allows students to graduate as Industrial Engineers, but with a background in another engineering branch, such as chemical or electrical engineering.
