Who is this programme for?

For school leavers who want to become future-ready civil engineers, choosing between offshore & renewable energy, digital resilience (BIM, AI, smart sensors), or environmental & sustainability engineering — with strong fundamentals and 7 months of real industrial training.

What will I learn, year by year?

Year 1: Engineering fundamentals — mathematics, mechanics, CAD, AI intro, and fluid mechanics.

Year 2: Hydraulics, environmental engineering, structural analysis, soil mechanics, sustainable concrete, and AI in civil engineering.

Year 3: Reinforced concrete & steel design, BIM, wastewater engineering, foundations, traffic engineering, then 7 months of Student Industrial Training.

Year 4: Integrated design projects, one of three specialisation pathways, GIS/LiDAR, final year project, and engineering economics.

Where do graduates work? Name employers and roles

Across infrastructure & construction, offshore & energy, digital infrastructure, water/environment, and consultancy roles (Civil, Structural, Offshore Structural, BIM, Environmental Engineer, and more). Named alumni employers: Gamuda, IJM, Aecom, DHI, PETRONAS, Shell, SLB, DNV, Technip, Petrofac, Petros, Sarawak Energy, MMC, MMHE, Jacobs, Ørsted, DHL, AWS, Airbus, Aerodyne, Subsea7 — across Malaysia, ASEAN, the Middle East, Europe, Oceania, and North America.

One thing that makes it different at UTP

Three professional pathways — Offshore & Renewable Energy Engineering, Digital Resilience Engineering (BIM, AI analytics, digital twins), and Environmental & Sustainability Engineering — plus 7 months of industrial training and industry-linked capstone projects.

The Research Behind It: Which area, centre and academics?

Not research-based (undergraduate programme), but Year 4 offers Core Specialisation electives across shared engineering tracks: Future Infrastructures & Digital Resilience, Renewable & Sustainable Energy Systems, Asset Integrity & Reliability, Offshore Engineering, Sustainability & Environmental Engineering, Energy Transformation, and Process Safety. Note: several of these (programme codes MGB/CGB/CBM) appear to be shared electives across multiple engineering programmes, not exclusive to Civil — worth confirming with the department which are core vs. open electives for this programme specifically.

Cost & Funding: Which scholarships and aid apply to this programme?

UTP financial-aid opportunities include YUTP Scholarship, YUTP Education Grant, YUTP Student Support Fund Bursary, TAZU and PTPTN, subject to eligibility and availability. Students may also explore external sponsorship opportunities listed by UTP.

Student Life: What should an applicant to this programme know?

Students should expect a combination of lectures, laboratory work, engineering projects, field exposure and industry-related activities. The programme also offers opportunities to develop digital skills through areas such as BIM, AI and IoT and to participate in student activities on UTP's campus.

Next Intake + Application Deadline ​​

Testimonial

2002, Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) (Y).

Ts. Dr. Radin Zulhazmi RA Halim

My Chemical Engineering education at UTP provided me with more than technical knowledge. It trained me to analyse complex systems, evaluate evidence, manage risks and develop practical solutions. My career has also shown me that an engineering qualification can open doors not only to technical and industrial roles, but also to management, consultancy, policymaking and national service. 2002, Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) (Y).

Frequently Asked Questions

Typically four years.

Yes, it is fully accredited and internationally recognized. The program is fully accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC) Malaysia and the Board of Engineers Malaysia (BEM). Because Malaysia is a signatory of the Washington Accord, a UTP Chemical Engineering degree is recognized as equivalent to engineering degrees in other signatory countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, and Singapore. Additionally, the program consistently ranks within the Top 150 globally in the QS World University Rankings by Subject.

To enter directly into the undergraduate degree, applicants must fulfill specific academic prerequisites:For Direct Entry (STPM / A-Levels / Matriculation / Diploma): Applicants must hold a relevant qualification (such as STPM, A-Levels, IB, or a recognized Engineering Diploma) with strong passing grades in core STEM subjects.For UTP Foundation Pathway: Students entering from SPM or O-Levels must first pass the 1-year Foundation in Engineering program.
