Arts to Engineering (Pre-University) Programme

The One-Year Pre-Engineering Certificate Programme at UMaT prepares non-science students with the fundamentals and the necessary STEM courses needed to undertake and excel in any undergraduate programme at this University. Moreover, the Programme employs competency-based methodologies in training non-science students; consequently, the curriculum has been uniquely designed such that the students experience the rich blend of theory and practically oriented teaching that UMaT offers. In addition, to complement the academic work on campus, students are enrolled on various skill training programmes. Here, they are trained and mentored by professionals and experts with diverse engineering backgrounds.

Exploring Interest

In the Pre-Engineering programme at UMaT, not only will you receive a strong foundation in engineering, but also benefit from the uniquely designed curriculum that emphasises critical thinking, problem-solving, entrepreneurial and valuable soft skills needed to create an enabling environment for rapid urbanisation, industrialisation and national transformation. As such, students have the privilege to undertake a range of challenging and specialised mathematics courses (algebra, calculus and differential equations) and science courses (chemistry, physics, computing and others), all taught by dedicated and practically oriented Staff. Students also have access to advanced equipment in our state-of-the-art laboratories for deepening their understanding of the taught courses.

After the successful completion of the programme, qualified students can apply to any of our undergraduate programmes of choice (at any UMaT Campus). These include:

• Geomatic Engineering
