Please note: This course is for those who meet all of the other Level 2 entry requirements into the engineering diploma except mathematics.

When do applications open?

As this course is offered over the summer, we open applications later in the year.

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.
