New Zealand needs more professional engineers working in the economy. Currently, fewer than 1,000 professional engineers graduate each year. Countries with similar populations to New Zealand have more than double that number of engineering graduates.
As a trained engineer, you will be in-demand and essential for New Zealand’s growth in technology-related enterprises. Our close links with the New Zealand industry ensure you will be work-ready and able to apply your engineering skills and scientific knowledge to solve real-world, industrial and societal problems.
