Civil Engineering

Study Civil Engineering and learn to design, manage and maintain civil works and structures. As a graduate, you could go on to manage incredible infrastructure projects around New Zealand and the world.

Gain a sound knowledge, understanding and practical appreciation of civil engineering processes and theory by developing your ability to apply learning in a hands-on and innovative way.

Civil engineering skills are in high demand in New Zealand due to increased government spending on infrastructure such as road, water collection, wastewater management and public buildings.

The biggest point of difference at Otago Polytechnic is our real-world approach to learning. The experience you’ll gain on industry projects as part of your programme will give you the skills to seamlessly transition from study to employment within the civil engineering industry.
