BE(Hons)/BGlobalSt - Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Global Studies Conjoint

Overview
Entry Requirements, Fees and Dates
Schedule

A BE(Hons)/BGlobalSt conjoint allows you to complete a BE(Hons) and a BGlobalSt in less time than it would take to pursue the two degrees separately.

This five-year programme, comprising a blend of theoretical and practical work, ensures that you're ready for an international career upon graduation.

You can complement your technical skills with an understanding of global issues by combining one of our nine Engineering specialisations with one of the four majors available in Global Studies.

A BE(Hons)/BGlobalSt equips you with technical skills, an understanding of our globalised world, and competence in another language. All our BE(Hons) specialisations are Engineering New Zealand-accredited, preparing you for an international career in engineering. The BE(Hons) and BGlobalSt programmes both provide opportunities to develop practical employment skills and on-the-job experience through internships, workshops and research projects.

ME - Master of Engineering

MEngSt - Master of Engineering Studies

MEMgt - Master of Engineering Management

Once you become a student at the University, you can get help with planning and developing your career from Career Development and Employability Services.
