Mechanical, Biomedical & Manufacturing Engineering: Traineeship only

The Erasmus option is not used for academic learning as it is difficult to match the learning in MTU with English language engineering modules that are on offer in our partner institutes. Unfortunately, this excludes LEVEL 7 students from using Erasmus learning.
