The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (BE(Hons)) is a four-year undergraduate professional degree with a focus on digital-based technology. You'll build a solid grounding in mathematics and science through the design and implementation of real-world systems.
Gain the knowledge and skills to design and build exciting technology like autonomous robots, smartphone applications, and computer games. Imagine and create new systems that are more energy efficient, safer, and easier to use.
You'll also get training in project management, entrepreneurship, ethics, and sustainability and get the chance to put your skills into practice through research and development projects. You'll have opportunities to work with industry throughout your time at university.
And when you graduate with your BE(Hons) you'll have a degree that is recognised all over the world, because it has full accreditation from the Institute of Professional Engineers New Zealand.

Recommended subjects to study at school include Digital Technologies, Maths, Science, Statistics, and Technology. If you’re planning to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering, we highly recommend studying Physics and Calculus.
Admission to the degree
In addition to the admission requirements, we encourage you to have 16 credits in NCEA Level 3 Mathematics for all three majors offered under the BE(Hons) degree. The mathematics pathways available to you in the degree will depend on the number of NCEA credits you have passed, or equivalent achievement in another qualification type.
It is also recommended that students interested in Electrical and Electronic Engineering have some NCEA Level 3 Physics and Calculus credits. You can discuss entry requirements for specific courses with a student success adviser.
If you are applying with Cambridge Assessment International (CAIE) or International Baccalaureate (IB), you should contact a student success adviser for equivalents.
