Engineering with Honours

To progress into the second part of the BE(Hons) you need to have passed all your Part One courses with at least a B average.

In this part of the degree you study 200-, 300- and 400-level courses covering subjects specific to your major, and learn about Professional Practice.

You also need to complete a work experience section. You'll spend 800 hours of approved work experience in two different engineering environments.

And to add variety and breadth to your Bachelor of Engineering with Honours degree you'll take some elective courses, allowing you to explore some interests outside the field of engineering.

In your third and fourth years of study, as well as your specialist and core courses, you'll work on projects that come right from the industry. You'll graduate university skilled and work ready.

If your grades are consistently good, particularly in your third and fourth years, you can be awarded the degree with First Class Honours, Second Class Honours (first division) or Second Class Honours (second division). To be eligible for a class of Honours you would normally complete your third- and fourth- year courses within three consecutive years at the most.

• Successful completion of your general secondary education and successful completion of one year of undergraduate degree study at a recognised tertiary institution (min. GPA may be required); or,
• Successful completion of the Victoria University of Wellington Foundation Studies Programme OR other recognised foundation programme; or,
• Achievement of the International Baccalaureate Diploma (min. 24 points) OR equivalent internationally recognised high school qualification
