Q
What is the difference between the Bachelor of
Technology (BTech) and Bachelor of Engineering (BEng)
programmes?
A
Bachelor of Technology degrees are ideal for students who
like science, math and computers and who are analytical and
want to know how things work. Teaching methods are
a more hands-on experimentation and demonstration
during lectures. With a Bachelor of Technology degree you
will be an engineering technologist capable of working
in both hands-on roles and supervisory or management
positions within the engineering industry.
For additional requirements and programme content,
kindly consult the NUST Yearbook, Part 5, Faculty
of Engineering on our website at http://www.

Bachelor of Engineering degrees are ideal for students with
mathematical and logical strengths. Teaching methods
are aimed at developing and understanding mathematical
foundations related to a specific engineering discipline.
After completion of the BEng degree a student must
register with the Engineering Council of Namibia as a
Professional Engineer-in-Training and follow careers
ranging from design, project management, policy
development, business and financial analysis to various
management positions.
