University of Auckland Faculty of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering has in excess of 4000 students, 3300 at undergraduate level, 500 in taught postgraduate programmes and 560 research postgraduate students.

A range of specialisations are available in the Bachelor of Engineering degree. New specialisations, such as software engineering and biomedical engineering, have been introduced in recent years, in response to the changing needs of society.

Research is also a key activity at the Faculty, with large scale research activities and collaborations with other institutions and members of the industry. Much of the work undertaken is of a world-class level, while in many areas, the research programmes, and academics and students involved, are clearly leading the world in their discoveries and developments.
