Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Honours

This program is designed to equip students with:

• A globally recognized and accredited education in Mechanical Engineering, built on a strong foundation of modern engineering practices.
• Comprehensive knowledge of Mechanical Engineering through hands-on projects, advanced coursework, and access to state-of-the-art facilities that enhance practical learning.
• Essential skills to design, plan, and develop mechanical systems or prototypes using industry-standard simulation software, preparing students for seamless entry into a fast-evolving workforce.

Any one of these:

• STPM: 2 Passes in STPM with a minimum Grade C (GP 2.0) in Mathematics and Physics (or Chemistry), and a Credit in Mathematics and Physics (or Chemistry) at SPM Level or its equivalent.
• A-Level: 2 Passes (Grade A-D) in A-Level including Mathematics and Physics (or Chemistry).
• UEC: 5 Grade B’s in UEC, including Mathematics and Physics (or Chemistry).
• Matriculation or Foundation: Passed the relevant Foundation programme (minimum CGPA of 2.0) with a Credit in Mathematics and Physics (or Chemistry) at SPM/O-Level/IGCSE or equivalent.
• Diploma: Successful completion of a Diploma in Engineering and fulfilment of requirements for Credit Transfer, subject to the approval of the APU Academic Board.
• Or, any other equivalent qualification determined by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA).

Candidates who wish to study Engineering Degree course must not be color blind or physically handicapped which makes him/her unable to conduct experimental/practical work and affect the learning process leading to potential errors towards professional practice as well. This is in line with the requirements of engineering professional bodies where safe engineering practices is mandatory. All International Students need to go through EMGS Medical Screening, if the student is found to be color blind; the Medical Screening maybe failed.
