There are multiple pathways to the Bachelor of Engineering:

School Leavers with NCEA 3 with credits in Mathematics and Sciences,
Students or practitioners with a recognised technician qualification (NZDE, NZCE, NDE or other) who enter the programme at the mid-way point,
Students who hold other qualifications, but have extensive and demonstrated relevant industry experience.
Mature students with relevant industry experience and knowledge can also be considered for entry.

For those who hold a degree in a related discipline, are working within the industry and are keen to upskill, SIT is also offering further qualifications, with the addition of the Graduate Diploma and the Graduate Certificate in Engineering, with majors in either Civil or Mechanical Engineering. echo adrotate_ad(154, array("wrapper" => "yes", "site" => "no"));

School leavers or students keen to move into engineering at a technician level are still well catered for at SIT, with the continuation of the popular 2-year NZ Diploma in Engineering (NZDE) (Civil and Mechanical strands) qualification. The NZDE is a qualification that is industry-relevant, recognised across the world, gives advanced standing into the Degree programmes, and provides opportunities to go straight into practice as an Engineering Technician. The demand for NZDE graduates remains high in New Zealand.

As part of the Southland Regional Development Strategy (SORDS), it is imperative that the capability and skills of the region’s people and labour force are enhanced to support, both the economic and social development of the region. SIT engineering graduates are welcomed as part of this strategy, and encouraged to continue to work and live in the south with increasingly attractive opportunities becoming available, instilling both energy and vitality into the region.

An engineering qualification will provide graduates with advanced opportunities within a highly sought after career path. For mechanical engineering graduates, it will lead to jobs in manufacturing, design, production, prototyping, project and contract management. Civil engineering graduates will work in various infrastructure disciplines, including the design, construction and maintenance of commercial buildings, roads, bridges, water supply, sewerage systems and pipelines, flood protection and coastal protection.

Applicants without these formal entry qualifications, but who can demonstrate an ability in engineering disciplines, will also be considered on a case-by-case basis.

With a shortage of engineers in many disciplines, from mechanical trades people to professional engineers, there is no better time than now to upskill in an industry that will provide you with a wide variety of career paths, great outcomes and competitive salaries.

If you are focused on engineering as a career, SIT can provide you with the opportunity to, not only save thousands of dollars in fees, but also receive the highest quality of education in the process.
