Studying Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.)

The Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng. or BE) is an academic degree achieved for undergraduate studies in one of the Engineering Sciences. It takes 3-4 years to graduate a B.Eng. degree.

The Bachelor of Engineering degree is academically equal to the Bachelor of Science. It is common practice to award the Bachelor of Engineering for technical programmes at universities of applied sciences or technical universities. Regular Engineering programmes at other universities are awarded as Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degrees.

During B.Eng. courses from international tech schools, students learn how to solve Engineering problems using Mathematics, scientific principles, as well as new methods and technologies. You develop problem-solving skills, an analytical approach, and discover how to conduct proper research. To graduate, students have to write an Engineering research paper during the final study year.
