ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
To be admitted for the Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering of MRU, a candidate must satisfy the general minimum entrance requirements of the National Council of Higher Education (NCHE) and Muteesa 1 Royal University (MRU). This will be through two avenues which are: Direct entry and Diploma entry.
DIRECT ENTRY
Candidates seeking admission through the direct entry avenue must have obtained:
GROUP | WEIGHT SCORE | SUBJECTS |
Essential | 3 | Mathematics, Physics |
Relevant | 2 | Chemistry, Economics, Technical Drawing, Applied Mathematics, or Pure Mathematics. |
Desirable | 1 | General paper |
Others | 0.5 | All others |
DIPLOMA HOLDERS’ ENTRY AVENUE
Holders of the Uganda National Examinations Board Diploma or its equivalent from a recognized institution can be admitted to the program. Applicants must have passed diploma in any of these fields;
ADMISSION TO FIRST YEAR
Candidates with ordinary diplomas can only be admitted to the first year.
ADMISSION TO OTHER YEARS
Admissions to other years of study than to the 1st year of the program shall require a special resolution of the Faculty Board and permission of the Senate of Muteesa I Royal University. The Civil Engineering Department will work out all appropriate credit transfers, which shall not exceed 40% of the minimum degree credit units. Persons holding a Higher Diploma from a recognized institution can be admitted to 3rd year, with the provision that they will be required to take some courses from the 2ndyear that the Faculty Board will have identified and deemed mandatory.
The demand for Electrical Engineering undergraduate program has grown due to increasing number of industries set up all over the country. The demand for electrical engineering undergraduate education doesn’t come merely from high school holders, but also diploma in engineering graduates, from students with University degrees in other engineering or physical science disciplines. The demand for graduate education in Electrical Engineering is also likely to originate from developing countries within the East African Region, and Great Lakes Region. This provides an opportunity for the proposed graduate program to influence policies and practices in these countries.
In addition, other communication related applications have made services easier to access and currently Uganda has a growing number of communication service providers, with several of them aiming for newer and more efficient technologies in order to stem the tide of competition. Since the ICT industry operates using highly developed technologies, communication systems must be designed, installed, and operated to maintain high levels of efficiency. To fulfill this, employers in the ICT industry require engineers with appropriate knowledge and skills. In the field of education, limited places exist in the present Universities, both on government and private sponsorship, and persons, and as a result, competition has been high.
Therefore, the Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering has been redesigned to address the concerns and further enhance the industrial modernization drive and service delivery in Uganda and the Great Lakes Region.
Both the studies and examinations in this program will be governed by the general regulations and statutes of Muteesa I Royal University and also the rules and regulations of the Faculty of Science, Information Technology, Engineering and Art & Design apply.
