Adjusted Entry requirements for Bachelor of Engineering – AU

Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) domestic entry requirements

What are the entry requirements for a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) through NCEA, Cambridge International or IB?

As a consequence to COVID disruptions in 2021, the Faculty wishes to signal an adjustment to its previously advised admission requirements for 2022 entrance.

In particular, while the previously advised rank score and subject requirements (for NCEA, CIE and IB) still guarantee entry, we advise the following entry paths also apply, subject to places being available.

National Certificate of Educational Achievement Level 3 (NCEA)

We will also consider applicants who have done well but have not quite achieved the guaranteed 260 rank score. In addition, we have made the following changes to Calculus and Physics subject requirements. Applicants will require, in addition to achieving University Entrance, a minimum of 11 external Level 3 credits in Mathematics with Calculus (two of the three of the following Calculus Achievement Standards); and a minimum of 10 external Level 3 credits in Physics (two out of the three following Physics Achievement Standards).

External Calculus Achievement Standards:

• 91578: Apply differentiation methods in solving problems, 6 credits
• 91579: Apply integration methods in solving problems, 6 credits
• 91577: Apply the algebra of complex numbers in solving problems, 5 credits

External Physics credits Achievement Standards:

• 91523: Demonstrate understanding of wave systems, 4 credits
• 91524: Demonstrate understanding of mechanical systems, 6 credits
• 91526: Demonstrate understanding of electrical systems, 6 credits.

NB: Although we would be again considering NCEA applicants with at least 11 credits in Calculus and 10 in Physics, these would not be guaranteed–but consideration as per AS in CIE and SL in IB.

Further notes:

For applicants (from NCEA, CIE and IB) who have completed all the subject requirements but didn’t achieve the rank score required. The higher the rank score the more likely admission will be.

Online Job Interview Advice

Online Job Interviews.

A large number of employers are moving to online interviewing for first and sometimes only interviews. The reason for this, putting aside Covid, is that it’s faster and speeds up the recruitment process.

Employers can dial in, ask questions from their desk and get a very good feel if you are right or not for the position.

Below are some good tips about online interviews and how to prepare.
