About this program

The New Zealand Diploma in Engineering (Level 6) (Civil Engineering) (NZ261201) is designed for students who want to work in a technician-level role in civil engineering. It develops practical, technical, and analytical skills for supporting the design and delivery of projects in transport, water, and geotechnical engineering. You apply civil engineering knowledge to practical, well-defined problems and communicate through technical reports, drawings, and documentation.

Delivery is online study. You work through course materials online at your own pace between the course start and end dates. There are no scheduled online classes, and you do not need to travel to a campus. Most courses are fully online, but some may include in-person laboratory or practical sessions lasting 1–3 days, with details at the start of the course. You may need to travel for these sessions.
