Enrolling in the Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) Part I

It is important to know that enrolling is different depending on if you’re enrolling for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) as a single or conjoint degree. There is a section for both on this page.

When enrolling, we recommend that you

  • Enrol in your courses for both Semester One and Two to avoid missing out on a place in your preferred courses.
  • Enrol in Semester One first, then enrol into Semester Two.
  • Enrol as soon as you accept your offer of place to avoid missing out choosing a course time that best works for you.

Please note, you must complete all compulsory core Part One Engineering courses before progressing to Part Two Engineering courses.

You can choose to enrol into individual courses OR enrol into a cohort of the programme.

A cohort means that your courses are pre-selected by your faculty to ensure you have a clash-free timetable.

When enrolling into a cohort, you will see the same group of students in your lectures, labs and tutorials for all of your courses. This encourages you to make connections with the same group of students throughout your first year of study.

This process also saves time and simplifies your enrolment process. All you need to do is choose a cohort option that best works for you and let the system work out the clash-free timetable for your required courses.

Alternatively, you can choose to enrol into your courses individually to work out clash-free timetables for your required courses by yourself. This offers you the flexibility to find classes individually that suit your availability, so you can study alongside other commitments.

Enrolling into the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) as a single degree

You can use this information if you’re enrolling into a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) as a single degree.

This means that you’re only studying a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).

If you’re enrolling into your Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) for the first time, you will enrol into your courses using Timetable Planner.

You can choose to enrol into a cohort OR enrol into courses individually.

If the cohort option is full, you can enrol into courses individually.

School-leavers

If you’re a school-leaver, you can view the conjoint planners at Conjoint degrees. You will find out information about your degree and advice about enrolling in your Engineering courses.

A school-leaver means you have completed your last year at a New Zealand high schoo, or international equivalent, and are entering university for the first time in 2024.

Non-school-leavers

If you were accepted into a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) conjoint degree through the alternative pathway, you may have discussed your enrolments during your interview.

You will need to enrol into your courses using Student Services Online.
