Department/School/Center: School of Chemical and Bio Engineering

Program title: B. Sc in Leather Technology

Program duration (in years): Five for regular

Study Language: English

Credits and the equivalent ECTS:     ECTS – 306

Mode of delivery: Regular

Program Objective: the objectives of the undergraduate program in Chemical Engineering are specifically designed to produce graduates with the ability to apply chemical engineering fundamentals to solve open-ended problems and to design process units and systems of process units including multiple operations.

Admission requirements:

Admissions to all regular undergraduate programs are processed through the Ministry of Education (MoE) of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. Admissions to the continuing education program (CEP) are processed through the Faculty’s registrar office based on the criteria set by Addis Ababa University. Upon admission to the universities/ Institutes of Technologies, students will join the School of Chemical and Bioengineering. After successful completion of the orientation semester (1st semester) and two other semesters in the Chemical Engineering Department, students will be assigned for the Leather Technology program.

Graduation requirement:

Students must take and pass all the required modules to satisfy the requirements for graduation. The total required modules for graduation with the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Leather Technology are 27, which amount to credit points of 306 ECTS including the 30 ECTS mandatory internship. Further graduation requirements are as set by the respective University’s/Technology Institute’s Legislation.
