CHANGE BEGINS WITH OUR GENERATION

Applications

Students are normally enrolled and admitted to the School of Mathematics and Natural Sciences for their first year; where they do their Advanced Level Sciences. They come to the School of Engineering in their second year based on their performance. At this stage they do Fundamental Engineering Sciences at the end of which they get streamlined in the three Departments of the School – at third year. The Diploma students on the other hand, are enrolled directly to the School under the respective Departments.

Diploma

For admission to the Diploma Programmes, the applicant should satisfy the following requirements:

1. At least Ordinary level passes in Mathematics and English Language and any one Science subject from: Science, Physical Science, Physics, Chemistry.
   N.B. If a candidate offers Physical Science and Science, this will be counted as one subject.
2. Two (2) subjects from other subjects such as Additional Mathematics, Biology, Principles of Accounts, Commerce, History, Literature in English, Geometrical and Mechanical Drawing, etc.
3. Candidates holding a good Advanced Certificate (i.e. an average score of at least in a subject relevant to the School’s programmes may be admitted to Diploma programmes in the first year
