All applicants to any undergraduate programme of study (MQF 6) at the American University of Malta must satisfy one of the following entry requirements:

1. For candidates following the Maltese education system:

i. A Matriculation (MATSEC) certificate, with two subjects at an Advanced level, three other subjects at Intermediate level and Systems of Knowledge, and a pass at Grade 5 or better in the Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) examinations in English Language. If you are not in possession of a SEC certificate in English, you might be asked to carry out an Institutional iTEP test.

OR

ii. Three subjects at Advanced Level (MQF 4), and a pass at Grade 5 or better in the Secondary Education Certificate (SEC) examinations in the English Language. If you are not in possession of a SEC certificate in English, you might be asked to carry out an Institutional iTEP test. Conditional admission is offered to all applicants who are still waiting for their MATSEC results. These results must be submitted by the student to the Admissions Office within 1 week of receipt.

2. Candidates following the US system must submit scanned copies of the transcripts for the last two years of High School. Students must be in possession of an average GPA of 2.0 for admission.

Course Information

Mechanical Engineers design and manufacture everything from smaller devices such as microwaves to larger systems such as automobiles and spacecraft. Mechanical Engineering applies mathematics, physics, and the principles of material science to the analysis, design, manufacture, and maintenance of mechanical systems. For this, a broad range of skills is needed, including the ability to model the mechanics of solids and fluids, as well as the flow of heat and energy.

Since these skills are required for virtually everything that is made, mechanical engineering is arguably the broadest and most diverse of engineering disciplines. Graduates of Mechanical Engineering programs pursue careers in a wide range of sectors, including the defence, biomedical, manufacturing, mining, and automotive industries. Mechanical Engineers play a central role in the aerospace, automotive design, and manufacturing industries, as well as in biomedical technology.
