Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering (Civil Engineering)

The University of Auckland

Enhance your undergraduate qualification with specialised knowledge to enable progression into an engineering masters programme. This qualification gives students who have completed a three-year engineering degree the opportunity to build on their previous skills, and understand the principles, concepts and ideas that underpin a chosen specialisation. It is designed to provide a pathway to further study in a masters programme. We strongly value advanced research this is reflected in the range of facilities and specialised expertise we offer, all potentially tailored to suit individual interests. Some areas of in-depth study include: Advanced structural dynamics, Earthquake engineering, Excavation engineering, Experimental and computational geotechnical engineering, Fire engineering, Highway and pavement engineering, Infrastructure asset management, Rock mechanics, Seismic structural design, We are also involved in many real-world projects, with some students contributing to projects around the country, including: the Christchurch rebuild, improving transportation systems in Auckland and the rest of the country, building dams and reservoirs, and responding to natural disasters. They’re also part of the decision-making process in local and regional councils.
