NMMU to phase out engineering diplomas

Mashudu Nenjelele • 16 September 2022

​National diploma programmes in civil, electrical, industrial and mechanical engineering will no longer be offered at NMMU, while new bachelor degree programmes will be introduced.

The new three-year Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BEngTech) degrees will be offered from next year.

Endorsed by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), approved by the Council for Higher Education (CHE) and registered by the South African Quality Authority (SAQA), the new programmes will include a degree in Marine Engineering once registration with SAQA is completed.

The final intake and registration for BTech degrees will be in 2019.
