About the programme
Since the first year of study is largely common to all BEng programmes, students that have passed all the first-year subjects in their first year of study may change to any other BEng programme at the start of their second year of study. In the first two years, a foundation of mathematics and the natural and engineering sciences is laid, and in the third and fourth years, students learn how to apply their knowledge to solve technical problems and how to develop business opportunities. With this broad knowledge base, BEng graduates can take up a variety of occupations both within and outside the engineering industry. They often establish and manage their own companies as entrepreneurs. Join the Bachelor of Engineering programmes (BEng) at Stellenbosch University.
Professional accreditation and international recognition
All our BEng programmes are accredited by the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA), giving our graduates access to registration as Professional Engineers after acquiring the relevant experience in practice. In line with the Washington Accord, our BEng degrees are recognised world-wide in such countries as Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, to name a few.
Language of instruction
The University adopted a new language policy in 2016, for implementation from 2017 onwards. According to this policy the University wants to revise the English offering upwards so as to achieve full accessibility to SU for academically deserving prospective and current students who prefer to study in English. At the same time the University wants to sustain access to SU for students who prefer to study in Afrikaans and to further develop Afrikaans as a language of tuition, where reasonably practicable.
