Career opportunities • Civil engineer (design) • Civil engineering project and/or construction manager • Geotechnical engineer • Roading-transportation engineer • Structural engineer • Water/environmental engineer

Highlights • Get qualified in three years (full-time) - not four - and get into employment sooner. • A nationally-led engineering qualification developed by six of New Zealand's largest Institutes of Technology and

Polytechnics (ITPs). • Approved under a New Zealand-wide framework for three-year engineering degrees. • Accredited by Engineering New Zealand: when you graduate, and combined with a period of work experience, you'll be eligible to apply for membership of Engineering New Zealand as a Technical

Member (TIPENZ), and later, as CPEng. • Strong links with the engineering industry • Small classes: the average class size is 35-60 students. • Cross-credits from the New Zealand

Diploma in Engineering (Civil) available.

This Bachelor’s degree will develop the skills you need for a career as a civil engineer in three years. You’ll gain advanced knowledge in a specialist area - environmental, geotechnical, water, roading and transportation or structural engineering.

Programme overview Learn to solve practical engineering problems, make informed decisions, and apply technology to civil engineering projects. Explore computer-modelling techniques, civil engineering project management, engineering materials and structures, and construction practices.

Specialise in one of five civil engineering pathways:

Structural engineering: design, construction, and supervision of buildings and other structures.

Water engineering: water supply, wastewater or stormwater disposal, river catchment systems, hydrology and erosion management and urban drainage systems.

Geotechnical engineering: foundation design, consolidation of fine-grained soils, improvement of slope stability, earth-retaining structures, geotechnical investigation and reports and de-watering of construction sites.

Roading and transportation: design, construction and maintenance of roads, traffic engineering and urban transportation studies.

Environmental engineering:

includes fundamentals of environmental engineering, the sensitive environment, and resource and environmental management.
