Go deeper into the world of engineering and investigate a topic of interest with the thesis-based Master of Engineering (ME). You'll learn to carry out independent research and further develop your abilities to think critically and creatively and write effectively. Graduate with a professional qualification that will be attractive to a range of employers both in New Zealand and overseas.

 

If you have a BE(Hons) degree with First or Second Class Honours or the equivalent, and want to carry out significant research that contributes to knowledge in the field, then the Master of Engineering is right for you.

 

Programmes

• Master of Engineering by thesis
• Master of Engineering by thesis and coursework

 

Learn from the best

Work with and learn from experts in the field who are constantly extending the boundaries of modern engineering knowledge. You'll be taught by staff who are actively engaged in cutting-edge research at New Zealand’s number one ranked research university.

 

Find a supervisor for your research project:

• In the School of Engineering and Computer Science—topics in electronics, network, renewable energy systems, and software engineering.
• At the Paihau—Robinson Research Institute, recognised worldwide as a leader in high temperature superconductivity—topics across mechanical, mechatronic, and electrical engineering, as well as physics and materials science.

 

Study details

The ME is a one-year full-time programme but you can study it part time. You can choose to complete it by doing a 120-point thesis or by doing a 90-point thesis and 30 points of coursework.

Depending on the topic of your research thesis, your ME may be endorsed with one of three subjects:

• Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering
• Network Engineering
• Software Engineering
