About the Program

Designed for STEM students (with particular focus on Mechanical, Chemical, and Electrical Engineering) and with the expertise of our Engineering Consortium, the curriculum of this program enables you to continue the specific course progression you need for a timely graduation. While completing your engineering coursework, you will also experience all that Cape Town has to offer by exploring the city and its surrounds, and diving into the rich South African culture and history.

In this program, you’ll register for two to four courses at South Africa's leading research university, the University of Cape Town (UCT), which is located in a pleasant suburban area five miles from the city center. UCT is South Africa's oldest university and has undergone incredible change since its opening, particularly since the end of Apartheid, working to make quality higher education available to students regardless of socioeconomic background.

In addition to your engineering-related courses, you will participate in a hands-on IES Abroad course entitled Designing the Sustainable City, a unique project-based course that examines and proposes solutions for issues affecting the local community.

Partner Institution Courses

Unviersity of Cape Town

Most courses at UCT are lecture-based, some with very large classes, and they usually meet between two and five days per week. Lectures are often accompanied by tutorials, which are much smaller and allow discussion of topics and concepts covered during the lecture.  Past students have found these tutorials to be extremely useful.

Engineering Courses at the University of Cape Town are taught in the School of Engineering & the Built Environment , which teaches the following disciplines: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Chemical/Electrical/Mechanical Engineering.

The course codes below indicate whether a course is offered in the first or second semester of the University Academic Year (February-November). The suffix 'F' denotes courses offered in the First Semester (Feb-Jun) and the suffix 'S' is for courses offered in the Second Semester (Jul-Nov). For example, CHE2006S is offered in the U.S. fall term, whereas CHE3006F is offered in the U.S. spring term.
