Undergraduate Degree Programme Structure (ITB)





First graduation of fully local BEng programme in 2013 (recap).
Programme 4 years duration
Programme is designed as per English education system
Initially programme comprised of a 3+1 year structure, with Year 3 being a
semester of non-programme specific modules and a semester of industry
based work experience.
Currently updated to 4 year study structure with industry based work
experience incorporated during Semester Break between Semester 6 and
Semester 7.
Accreditation of Engineering Progammes (ITB)

Higher National Diploma programmes awarded by Brunei Darussalam Technical
& Vocational Council (BDTVEC) and accredited at national level by Brunei
Darussalam National Accreditation Council (BDNAC).

Foundation Degree and Undergraduate Degree Programmes awarded by ITB
under ITB Constitution and Charter and accredited at national level by BDNAC.
BDNAC recognizes the respective levels of the programmes awarded.
Quality control is ensured via Industry Liaison Committees and via internal and
external examiners and moderators. External Examiners and Moderators
comprise of those from recognised international universities.





First graduation of fully local BEng programme in 2013 (recap).
In process of obtaining International Accreditation to ensure international
recognition and global mobilization of the graduates qualification.
Current action is accreditation via signatory institutions such as Engineering
Council UK (via its respective professional institution e.g. ICE, IMechE, IET)
Summary



Human resources and education are given high priority by the Government as
Brunei Darussalam aspires to be a well-educated and highly skilled nation and
to be among the top countries in the world via its planned targets set in its
long term Vision 2035 (Wawasan 2035).
Due to the small population, it was previously more economical for students
undertaking engineering to be sent to overseas universities.
However, the increase in students undertaking engineering in line with the
development and requirements of Brunei Darussalam has led to local
introduction of the degree programmes.

At Institut Teknologi Brunei (ITB), local engineering undergraduate
programmes have been set up, with graduates already successfully produced
and working in Industry.

The subsequent process is international and accreditation of the engineering
programmes for international recognition and global mobilization of the
graduates.
