The Bachelor of Building Science is a three-year undergraduate program that equips students with specialized knowledge in building science, technology, and economics, along with architectural principles.
This discipline emerged to address the evolving demands of New Zealand's construction sector. Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington now stands as a global pioneer in building science education, offering the nation's premier BBSc degree focused on building technology.
Students share foundational courses with Architecture majors in their first year before choosing between Project Management or Sustainable Engineering Systems specializations in subsequent years. An optional double major in both specializations is available.
This program prepares students to make meaningful contributions to sustainable development. The curriculum explores the relationship between people and their constructed surroundings, with first-year studies establishing fundamental building science concepts within architectural and design frameworks.
