Will you get in?

Meet the minimum pass grades for this level and you will be considered. Enter your WASSCE grades and we will tell you whether you meet the published cut-off for this programme — and every other programme at University of Energy and Natural Resources you qualify for.

Check if you qualify

Mechanical engineering is one of the broadest engineering fields, dealing with anything that moves or uses energy. This degree at the University of Energy and Natural Resources gives you a foundation in design, analysis and manufacturing. It suits students from General Science and Technical Studies backgrounds.

What mechanical engineering covers

Programmes of this kind usually cover solid mechanics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials science and manufacturing processes. You learn how to design machines and systems, analyse how they perform, and turn ideas into practical devices. The skills you build include problem-solving, computer-aided design (CAD), project management and technical communication.

How hard it is to get a place

Entry to this programme at the University of Energy and Natural Resources is less competitive compared to some other universities. For example, the same programme at KNUST is highly competitive, while this one offers a more accessible route. You still need to meet the published requirements and check whether your own grades qualify.

What you need to have studied

The college admits students from General Science and Technical Studies backgrounds. The published requirements are Core English, Core Mathematics and Integrated Science, plus Elective Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. If you have taken those subjects, you have the right foundation for this degree.
