This programme of study is also offered on a full-time basis. Please consult the Registrar's website for more information pertaining to courses offered by the University.
The aim of this two-year certificate course is to provide you with thorough theoretical knowledge, skills and competencies in mathematics and physics, thus bringing your knowledge and understanding in the subjects to the required level. In addition, the programme will include study-units specific to engineering workshop and laboratory practices as well as the concepts behind the design of an experiment. Throughout the course, you will be given subject-specific knowledge through the specific units in mathematics, physics and computer systems and programming. The study-units will be delivered using a complement of lectures, tutorials, and practical sessions. Thus, throughout the course, you will apply the fundamental concepts of mathematics, physics and computing to practical tasks, consolidating your understanding of key concepts within a practical environment. A hands-on engineering workshop will complement your theoretical skills with basic practical skills in mechanical fitting, machining and manufacturing as well as electrical installations and electronics.
To be registered as regular students in the Course, applicants shall:
Either
have obtained a minimum of 36 points in examinations taken as part of the Matriculation Certificate and be in possession of passes in the Secondary Education Certificate Examination at Grade 5 or better in English Language, Maltese and Mathematics together with a pass at Advanced Matriculation Level in one of the following subjects: Pure Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Computing, 福利在线免费 Technology, Engineering Drawing, Graphical Communication or other science/numeric subjects as approved by the Board. Or
be in possession of a diploma in an engineering domain which the Board deems as appropriate, classified at MQF Level 4, as well as passes in the Secondary Education Certificate Examination at Grade 5 or better in English Language, Maltese and Mathematics.
Applicants may be required to attend for an interview to assess whether they have the necessary aptitude to follow the Course with profit.
You can submit your application online. The deadlines for submission of applications vary according to the intake and courses. We encourage all international applicants to submit their applications as soon as possible. This is especially important if you require a visa to travel and eventually stay in Malta.

Students are required to register for not less than 25 ECTS credits in any academic year, selected from the study-units already offered in the full-time programme here. The programme may therefore be completed in a maximum of 2 years of study. In any academic year, students will follow the selected study-units during the semester in which they will be offered. In collaboration with the Board of the Faculty, the spread of study-units across each academic year may therefore be customised in accordance with each student's exigencies.
Requirement for award of Certificate in Engineering Sciences: 60 ECTS credits
By the end of the programme of study, you will be able to:
Apply mathematical concepts of coordinate geometry, vectors, matrices, calculus, trigonometry, complex numbers, numerical methods and series to solve engineering related problems.
Comprehend, organise, analyse, integrate and connect the principles of classic mechanics, thermodynamics, electrical circuit theory, electronics, waves and optics.
Apply the basics of computer systems and computer programming.
Apply good practices and sound methodologies to perform experimental procedures to solve engineering problems.
Develop engineering problem solving skills.
Enhance science communication skills.
Non EU Applicants:
Fee per academic year: Eur 5,400
You are viewing the fees for non EU nationals. Switch to EU nationals if you are a national of any country from within the EU/EEA.
As a student in possession of the Certificate in Engineering Sciences, you will be able to progress to the Bachelor courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering.
The programme is primarily intended as a precursor to the B.Eng (Hons) programme. The programme will allow for your personal development, providing a means to increase your proficiency in English, pursue independent study, work in teams and develop problem solving skills which would better equip you to follow the B.Eng (Hons) programme. Although the intent of this program is to provide you with the necessary tools required for the B.Eng (Hons) course, you could also envisage job opportunities such as procurement related jobs, or an Engineer's assistant as a candidate who completes this Certificate course.
