We also accept the following International qualifications:
New technologies are driving dramatic transitions in energy systems for heat, electricity and transport. These future energy systems will have much lower carbon emissions, be more renewable, efficient, flexible and intelligent, and more geographically distributed. New Zealand’s 80% renewable electricity puts us at the forefront of these changes. Our unique programme aims to create energy professionals with the scientific knowledge, real world skills, and flexible problem solving to drive this transition in New Zealand and globally.
Otago offers the only energy-focused undergraduate degree in Australasia. This comes in two forms: a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Energy Science and Technology or a Bachelor of Applied Science (BAppSci) in Energy Management. These programmes equip students with the technical knowledge and problem-solving skills to pursue successful careers in this rapidly changing and crucially important area.
