The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BEngTech) in Civil Engineering is a three-year program that combines mandatory and optional courses, emphasizing engineering technology design and application. Tailor your studies by selecting electives in structural engineering, water and wastewater systems, or transportation infrastructure. This degree holds full accreditation from Engineering New Zealand (EngNZ) and enjoys global recognition through the Sydney Accord.

During your initial year, you'll acquire fundamental engineering competencies in computing, mathematics, project management, and engineering principles, alongside specialized subjects. These form the groundwork for your academic journey, where analytical reasoning, creative solutions, and inventive approaches will be crucial for achievement.

In subsequent years, you'll expand your civil engineering expertise through practical projects. The program culminates with an industry-linked capstone project, often supported by leading organizations. This provides valuable opportunities to demonstrate your abilities according to professional benchmarks, enhance your career portfolio, and establish key industry connections. The program offers flexible part-time study options extending up to a decade.
