Overview

At the end of Third Year students on the BE (Hons) Process and Chemical Engineering programme may register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway (Process and Chemical). Students who choose not/are not eligible to register for the BE (Hons ME Pathway (Process and Chemical) will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons) (Process and Chemical).

Entry to the ME in Process and Chemical Engineering

Entry to the ME in Process and Chemical Engineering is determined based on student performance during Third Year. Students who pass the Third University Examination in Process and Chemical Engineering, achieving at least a 2H2 will be eligible to register for Fourth Year of the BE (Hons)/ME Pathway (Process and Chemical). In the case of students that have completed one full semester or a full year of studies abroad during Third Year, performance during the Second Year is taken into consideration, with a minimum of 2H1 in the Second Year Examination required for eligibility, in addition to passing the Third Year examination. Students who are eligible to register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway (Process and Chemical), but choose not to, will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons) (Process and Chemical). Students passing the Third University Examination in Process and Chemical Engineering who are ineligible to register for the BE (Hons)/ME Pathway (Process and Chemical) will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons) ( Process and Chemical).
