The BASc/MEng Process Engineering programme is internationally accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers (IChemE) of the United Kingdom. The BASc award meets the partial requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). The first year of study is common to all engineering programme options and is offered at the Point Lisas campus only. After completing the third year of study, students can choose to exit the programme and graduate with a Bachelor in Applied Science (BASc) degree with 108 credits but will have to subsequently re-apply to complete the fourth year and obtain the MEng qualification. For such students, GATE funding will no longer be available. 

The Master of Engineering (MEng) degree is an advanced undergraduate programme requiring four (4) years of full-time or eight (8) years of part-time study requiring thirty-six (36) credits per year. The M.Eng. programme prepares students for careers as professional engineers, locally and internationally. This programme of study is broader and deeper than the corresponding B.A.Sc. degree, with an increased emphasis on preparation for professional practice. M.Eng. graduates are equipped to solve problems in new technologies and develop new analytical techniques; successfully deliver innovative engineering products and services and account for project and finance management while keeping in mind technical and socio-economic constraints. In summary, the M.Eng. programme of study prepares students for leading roles in technical and/or managerial activities. Graduates from our accredited M.Eng. programmes can apply for registration as a Chartered Engineer as they demonstrate that the required knowledge and understanding has been met through formal education. The programme consists of a combination of coursework, taught courses and project theses, with a focus on students using their initiative under direction and supervision to acquire the necessary knowledge to address upstream engineering problems. The instructional pedagogy uses Project Based Learning and Team Study.
