    Fees / Entry requirement

The Bachelor of Applied Science in Materials Technology and Metallurgy (Honours) is a comprehensive three-year degree programme designed to equip students with strong scientific knowledge and practical expertise in materials science and metallurgical technology. The curriculum integrates fundamental sciences such as chemistry and physics with specialised study of metallic, ceramic, polymer, and composite materials. Students develop competencies in modern materials characterisation techniques, processing technologies, and industrial applications relevant to advanced materials and metallurgical industries.

A distinctive feature of this programme is its embedded professional certification pathway, enabling students to graduate not only with a bachelor’s degree but also with recognised professional skills certifications. This added credential enhances employability and provides graduates with a competitive advantage in both local and global industries. Graduates benefit from a balanced education that combines theoretical knowledge, laboratory practice, industrial training, and professional certification. The programme also provides a strong foundation for postgraduate studies in materials technology, nanotechnology, sustainable materials, and related advanced fields.

With its industry-oriented curriculum and emphasis on practical competence, the programme is designed to produce highly skilled, competitive, and industry-ready graduates prepared to meet the demands of modern manufacturing and advanced technology sectors.

Graduates of this program are well-prepared for diverse career opportunities, including but not limited to:
• Materials and Metallurgical Technologist
• Quality Control/Assurance Technologist
• Manufacturing and Production Technologist
• Failure Analysis and Testing Specialist
• Corrosion Specialist
• Welding and Fabrication Technologist
