About Us
Our focus is unashamedly modern. We teach engineering courses about digital technology that drives the modern world – from electronics to communications to software.
We offer the professional Bachelor of Engineering degree with specialisations in Electronics and Computer Science, Software Engineering and Network Engineering. This four year degree has a programme comparable to the best engineering degrees in New Zealand and worldwide. The course will enable you to gain knowledge as well as the skills that are highly regarded by employers, such as communication, management, teamwork, system design and problem solving.
The Faculty’s internationally-recognised steering committee and accreditation process ensure that our degree remains up to date, so students can be confident that they are receiving an education at the cutting edge of a rapidly changing field.
The Faculty of Engineering was established in 2009 to offer the Bachelor of Engineering degree, and builds on many years of experience in teaching the core subjects central to the degree programme.
The School of Engineering and Computer Science is part of the Faculty of Engineering and delivers the teaching programme. The School also caters for students studying Computer Science or Electronics and Computer Systems in a Bachelor of Science.
Our new facilities are superb and we have office, casual meeting and laboratory space in the Cotton Building as well as the recently-opened Alan MacDiarmid Building.
Wellington, New Zealand’s Science and Technology Capital, is an exciting city to study and live in. Victoria’s Kelburn Campus is close to the city with its café culture, waterfront location and central government infrastructure. The Faculty has established links with leading businesses and established industry in the city, including Weta Digital and Sidhe Interactive, and students draw on these links in work experience programmes.
