Entry Requirements :

Bachelor's Degree (Level 6, MOH) in Engineering with a minimum CGPA of 2.50 or its equivalent as accepted by the Senate of Lincoln University College; or
Bachelor's Degree (Level 6, MOH) in Engineering or equivalent but does not achieve a CGPA of 2.50, may be admitted subject to a minimum of five (5) years of working experience in the relevant field.

For candidates who have a Bachelor's Degree (Level 6, MOH) in Science or Technology (non-Engineering), a prerequisite module in Engineering must be offered to prepare them for further study.

For candidates who have a Bachelor's Degree (Level 6, MOH) not in the field of Mechanical Engineering must take a Machine Design course.

For International students:

Test Score of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) 500 or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 5.0 or equivalent. If the student does not meet the criteria, the HEP must offer an English language skills course to ensure the student's proficiency is adequate to meet the requirements of the program. This is usually done through an assessment process.
