The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BEngTech) with an Electrical Major is a three-year program combining core subjects and electives, emphasizing engineering technology design and application. This degree holds full accreditation from Engineering New Zealand (EngNZ) and enjoys global recognition under the Sydney Accord.
During your initial year, you'll acquire fundamental engineering competencies in computing, mathematics, management, and engineering sciences, alongside specialized subjects. These form the groundwork for your academic journey, where analytical reasoning, creative problem-solving, and innovative thinking will prove essential.
In subsequent years, you'll expand your electrical engineering expertise through practical projects. The program features an industry-linked capstone project, often supported by leading companies, allowing you to demonstrate your abilities against professional benchmarks. This hands-on experience helps build your career portfolio while establishing valuable industry connections. Part-time study options extend up to a decade.
