The University of Auckland

Our BA/BE(Hons) helps to develop the skills you’ll need to adapt and thrive in a fast-changing, globalised economy. The five-year programme blends theoretical and practical work. It allows you to complement your technical acumen with the broad, transferable skills and critical thinking abilities essential for solving complex problems. You can combine one of our nine engineering specialisations with a wide range of subjects in the humanities, social sciences, cultures and languages. The unique skill set that you will gain through a BA/BE(Hons) will put you in a strong position to pursue new opportunities created by developments in society, technology and business. All our Engineering specialisations are accredited by Engineering New Zealand, making this programme a recognised qualification in many countries.A specialisation in Civil Engineering offers you a combined emphasis on buildings, infrastructure and development, and environmental management. Our courses are designed to offer you a well-rounded education that prioritises tangible applications for technical knowledge in mathematics and science. In this specialisation, you will learn a range of skills, like how to design structures for loads they will experience doing their lifetime, and understand key infrastructure problems so you can design them to support modern cities. There’s also a substantial focus on environmental concerns, such as how to balance environmental issues during a construction project and the proper planning of stormwater and waste management facilities. We are also actively working to weave mātauranga Māori into our course content, projects, and student research to enrich our curriculum, and to solidify the relevance of our discipline within New Zealand and beyond.
