Engineers design the future. They provide innovative solutions to meet the needs of our modern world.
From buildings and bridges, to apps and smart devices, to pharmaceuticals and renewable energy, engineering feats are everywhere.
The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours is a four-year professional degree. The degree is accredited by Engineering New Zealand, allowing our graduates to work as professionally qualified engineers all over the world.
You can also choose to complete the Diploma in Global Humanitarian Engineering at the same time as your BE(Hons) degree, adding a humanities and service-based focus to your engineering discipline.
You should aim to have at least:
14 credits in Level 3 maths or calculus including both differentiation and integration
14 credits in Level 3 physics
14 credits in Level 3 chemistry.
Note: Achievement standards 91578 — 'Apply differentiation methods in solving problems' and 91579 — 'Apply integration methods in solving problems', must be included.
Chemistry is not required for students taking Computer Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or Software Engineering.
18 credits are strongly recommended in all subjects.
You will need to have:
Minimum of 4 HL (or 5 SL) in maths (HL is recommended)
