Summary
Want a career in engineering, but not sure what to expect from uni or from doing an engineering degree? Our Diploma in Engineering is another way into AUT and your dream degree.
Start your university studies with our Diploma in Engineering. You’ll take the same courses as our first-year bachelor’s degree students, and study in a supportive environment with additional academic and student support.
It’s a great way to try university, explore different engineering subjects and gain a qualification in one year. Once you’ve completed your diploma you can then move into Year 2 of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) or Bachelor of Engineering Technology.
*You need to take some Summer School courses to still complete your engineering degree in three years (or four years for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)).
