Course Information and Fees
New qualification
The new Master of Engineering (MEng) has replaced the MTech. The new qualifications ensure that the curriculum offered at CPUT can be directly compared to that of other institutions; not only nationally, but also internationally through the benchmarking process that took place during the development of these new qualifications.
Pipeline MTech students will be able to continue with their MTech, or convert to the new Master of Engineering (MEng). BTech graduates who want to register for the MEng may be required to complete additional modules as determined by the department.
For more information go to the “New Qualifications” page on the Engineering website.
Purpose and Rationale of the qualification
