Course content

Introductory Mathematics for Engineers (Level 3)

This content is taken directly from our one-semester bridging programme that leads to the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (Civil, Mechanical or Electrical).

The content is taken from three existing taught courses: Algebra 2, Algebra 3 and Introductory Mathematics for Engineers. It has been specifically designed to enable you to gain the necessary maths skills to enter the Diploma.

We start at Level 1 and then build up over the four weeks to Level 3. Each day will involve working through maths exercises as a group and sometimes you will work independently.

Student loans and allowances

Please note that Student Loans and Allowances are not available for this four-week course.

Cancellation of a programme

Any programme of study, course or course occurrence may be cancelled or postponed where there are insufficient numbers. As far as is practically possible, we avoid cancelling or making other significant changes less than two weeks before the programme starts (or five working days for short courses). If this happens, we will do our best to suggest alternative study options for you. If you don’t want to do the alternative programme, we will give you a full refund. For international students, if a programme change affects your visa status, we will let you know and support you to find an alternative option. We also advise Immigration New Zealand of any programme change that will affect international students.
