The Bachelor of Science (Technology) offers practical, relevant work experience, integrating theoretical learning with hands-on experience for a seamless transition into your chosen career.

 

Why study a BSc(Tech)?

The BSc(Tech) is a flexible degree, designed to provide you with the necessary practical experience to stand out among other science graduates.

 

This degree includes 10 weeks of relevant work experience. Our Work Placement Team assists in matching students with placement opportunities, and offering reflective learning and skill development after the placements are completed.  Students are regularly offered permanent roles following their placements.

 

Heading into the workplace with a BSc(Tech) from Waikato means you'll have spent the summer between your second and third years gaining relevant work experience and, in most cases, being paid for your efforts.

 

To prepare you for the workplace and gain an understanding of how the business world works, the BSc(Tech) includes a workplace preparation paper prior to starting the work placement in addition to a wide variety of science papers.
