Master of Science (Automotive Engineering)

Programme Specification

The Master of Science (Automotive Engineering) programme aims to provide graduates with the advanced knowledge and capabilities to carry out research and solve complex automotive engineering problems effectively. Upon the graduation, graduates may improve the knowledge related to Vehicle powertrain, chassis, styling, and vehicle dynamics. Graduates may also expose to vehicle control engineering, hybrid technology, tribology and braking system. The versatility of this program allows graduates a variety of career options The Master of Science (Automotive Engineering) is offered either on a fulltime or part-time basis. The full-time programme is offered only at the UTM Main Campus in Johor Bahru while the part-time programme is offered at various learning centres throughout Malaysia. The normal full-time program can be completed in a minimum of one year, i.e. two long semesters and one short semester. The maximum period for the completion of the fulltime program is eight normal semesters (nominally 4 years). The maximum duration allowed for part-time students is also eight normal semesters (nominally 4 years). The full time student is allowed to take a maximum of 20 credits in a normal semester and 10 credits in a short semester. The part time student is allowed to take a maximum of 12 credits in a normal semester and 6 credits in a short semester. Assessment is based on coursework and final examinations given throughout the semester.
