University Of Pretoria Faculty Of Engineering
University Of Pretoria Faculty Of Engineering, The Faculty is a leading source of locally relevant and internationally competitive programmes in Engineering, the Built Environment and Information Technology, at both undergraduate and graduate levels. It attracts high-quality students and staff, and offers extended programmes to facilitate inclusiveness. It is well resourced in terms of teaching and research facilities, and houses several research institutes. The Faculty maintains close links with industry that support both the teaching and research programmes. The multidisciplinary nature of the Faculty facilities interaction accross disciplines in both teaching and research activities.
School of Engineering
Technological innovation and its management and application are essential for the creation of prosperity in any country. The Engineering School of the University of Pretoria gives students the education to make a considerable contribution in this field.
Our Engineering School is one of the largest of its kind in the country and has various fields of specialisation in a variety of departments, like industrial & systems engineering, chemical engineering, electrical, electronic & computer engineering, mechanical & aeronautical engineering, material science & metallurgical engineering, mining engineering and civil engineering. We have strong ties with industry. One of the benefits for our students is the high esteem in which our graduates are held, both nationally and internationally.
Engineering Augmented Degree Program (ENGAGE)
Welcome
An engineering degree is very demanding. The workload is high, the pace is fast and the modules are academically challenging. Many students also face challenges regarding background knowledge in Mathematics and Physical Science, academic literacy and information technology, and may not have effective study skills to cope with the mainstream four-year programme. In addition, many students struggle with the transition to university life, with the very large first-year classes, freedom from strict discipline, and many social activities, even if they attended high-performing schools.
This is why the School of Engineering offers a five-year programme, called the Engineering Augmented Degree Programme (ENGAGE). ENGAGE is available in all the engineering disciplines. It provides a carefully structured curriculum that helps students adjust to university life and cope with the academic demands of engineering studies. In ENGAGE, the volume of work is gradually increased while the support provided is gradually decreased over a period of three years. However, the workload – the time students must spend on their studies – is high from the very beginning, so ENGAGE is not for students who do not want to work – students are expected to work for 60 – 70 hours per week!

Postgraduate Studies in the Department of Chemical Engineering
2018 Information:
The 2018 Engineering Yearbook will be available soon. Click here for a pdf-copy of the 2017 Engineering Yearbook.
Note that applications for postgraduate studies in a particular year close on October 31 of the previous year for local students and on 31 August of the previous year for International students.
Depending on your qualifications, you may register for BEng (Hons) or BSc (Hons)(AppSci), which is coursework-based and, on completion of that, for MEng or MSc (Applied Science) within a field of specialization. Please note that direct registration for a Master’s degree after completion of a B-degree, is not possible.
