New Zealand’s demand for Engineering professionals continues to grow with the sector’s needs. After consulting with industrial partners, we’ve identified a need for capacity and capability-building amongst Engineering graduates to meet the growing demand for Engineers in New Zealand. The MProfEng will help graduates develop well-rounded skills so they can make a positive contribution to employers and society upon leaving university.

 

The MProfEng programme is designed to meet the requirements of the Washington Accord, the global standard for accredited engineering degrees. This will provide graduates with a pathway towards Chartered Professional Engineers (or similar), and will also support our graduates’ global mobility as professional engineers.

 

Accreditation status: Provisional accreditation against the Washington Accord submitted to Engineering New Zealand in January 2024. Awarded on 10 July 2024. Full accreditation expected in 2026.
