UNIVERSITI TEKNOLOGI MALAYSIA
The Master programme by Taught Course extends the knowledge gained from undergraduate and develops new professional skills in a particular area of mechanical engineering discipline. The programme comprises a combination of compulsory courses, electives, and a Master’s Project. This programme offers twelve (12) tracks which give more options to the students to choose specific area or specialization in the mechanical engineering field. The aim of this program is to provide an opportunity to pursue an in-depth study in the broadly based mechanical engineering disciplines, thus enhancing the technological developments.
The programme aims to provide an opportunity to pursue an in-depth study beyond the undergraduate level in the broadly based mechanical engineering disciplines, thus enhancing the technological developments.
This track offers general electives in the Mechanical engineering discipline. Students are required to choose five elective courses provided under this track. Additionally, students can also register any courses that are offered within the 12 tracks listed.
This programme comprises a combination of program core courses, university general course, electives, and a Master’s Project. Three (3) core courses of the program must be taken by each student, which are Research Methodology, Emerging Technologies and Management, and Product Innovation and Development. Students need to choose one track from twelve (12) available tracks prior to the study. Each track requires students to take five (5) electives and one (1) free elective along with a master project relevant to the track specialization. A minimum of five (5) students is required to open any track or course. In addition, this requirement could also depend on the coordination between the program coordinator and students prior to the commencement of the semester.
The normal requirement for admission to the programme is a four-year bachelor degree recognized by the university in either engineering or sciences. The minimum overall grade point average for the admission can be accessed via the following link:

A) For candidates who have a Bachelor’s Degree
i) Candidates have a four-year Bachelor’s Degree or equivalent from MQA-recognized university in engineering or science with an overall grade point average,CGPA minimum of 2.50.
ii) Candidates who have a CGPA between 2.50 to 2.75 are subject to rigorous evaluation at the Faculty level.
iii) If the CGPA of the candidate applying for admission is less than 2.50, but has relevant professional experience in the field of engineering of at least five (5) years may be considered.
iv) Candidates with a degree other than engineering or science must register for 3 Pre-Master modules that have been prescribed by the school/faculty at the undergraduate level and pass with a minimum grade of B- and a minimum CGPA of 3.0. The same method applies if the candidate holds a Higher Diploma or Advanced Technical Diploma or equivalent with a bachelor’s degree from a particular country including Libya and the Middle East.
B) For Malaysian candidates who do NOT have a Bachelor’s Degree
Candidates have at least a STPM or Diploma in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics from a university recognized by MQA AND have working experience in a field related to mechanical engineering AND passed the APEL T-7 assessment.
