The Bachelor of Engineering in Civil and Building Engineering recorded one of the highest cut-off points.

The day programme stands at 48.9 points, while the evening programme is set at 46.9 points. Electrical Engineering also remains highly competitive, with a cut-off of 47.4 points for the day programme and 44.7 points for the evening programme.
