Bachelor of Communication Studies in Digital Communication

at Auckland University of Technology - City Campus New Zealand

The Bachelor of Creative Technologies is New Zealand’s most innovative bachelor’s programme. It’s designed for this fast-moving digital era that recognises we need to think creatively about the application of technology in society. You’ll learn to identify new opportunities and creative approaches to guide the transformation of industries and businesses that this era requires.

The programme is organised around projects and challenges. You’ll learn existing and new technologies, creative processes and strategies to collaborate with others to tackle the complex challenges of our time. You could apply your skills to a wide range of fields, from developing a new creative audio or visual artform to solving one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Electrical engineers keep the power running for businesses and our communities. Electrical engineering skills are needed in a wide range of industries and you could find yourself working in a lab, on a building project, at a power station or in a workshop.

The Electrical Engineering major equips you with the skills to design, implement, and maintain power and utility systems. You also learn about electrical power engineering circuits, process control systems and programable logic displays. In your final year you specialise in building services, power or control courses.

In as little as one year you can develop advanced knowledge of science, or computer and mathematical sciences with the Graduate Diploma in Science. It's a great choice if you already have a degree.

This graduate diploma is designed for professionals, including secondary school teachers, who want to update their knowledge of current technologies and applications of science, or computer and mathematical sciences. The Graduate Diploma in Science also prepares students for postgraduate study in an area of science, or computer and mathematical sciences in which they were not originally trained.

Study the Environmental Science major in the Bachelor of Science and become an environmental problem solver, with an in-depth understanding of the science that supports healthy water, air, soils and ecosystems.

The Environmental Science major will immerse you in the science of environmental problem solving. Our courses are designed to give you a well-rounded degree, and cover environmental science concepts, scientific data interpretation and communication, and environmental management and policy. There's an emphasis on essential ‘hands-on’ skills, with multiple field trips and practical lab sessions each year.

Developing new products and processes, and experimenting with the make-up and behaviour of different chemicals are some of the challenges chemistry graduates get to take on. A degree in chemistry opens the door to a wide range of career options, both in and out of the laboratory.

You gain essential practical laboratory skills needed to be successful in scientific employment here and overseas. AUT chemistry graduates have careers in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, petrochemicals, toiletries, plastics and polymers. There are also opportunities in the food and drink industry, health and medical organisations and scientific research organisations.

The Food Science major in the Bachelor of Science introduces you to the science behind the food we eat. It can open the door to a wide range of careers in food science.

Food innovation is driven by trends like reducing sugar, sodium and fat; using more natural flavourings and colourings, and improving the shelf-life of foods. Food scientists are critical in the production of food. They develop new food products, improve sensory attributes and nutritional content of foods, and find new ways to preserve, process, package and distribute food.

Study food science and become familiar with food chemistry, food microbiology, sensory science, food product development and food processing and technology. You learn to analyse the characteristics of food, discover new food sources, and research how to make processed foods safe and healthy.

In the Management specialisation in the Master of Business you further your understanding of current management issues and research a topic of your interest.

You learn about the theory and practice of management from AUT's research-active and dedicated staff who are proud of their local and international connections. We focus on producing high-quality research across the discipline of management, embracing a range of research approaches.

Develop a broad base of engineering skills and prepare yourself for a wide range of engineering careers.

Mechanical engineers work with advanced technology across many fields – from transportation to energy systems, home appliances to robotics, manufacturing machinery and processes to medical technologies. In a world where global warming and environmental degradation are critical issues, mechanical engineers play a key role in developing new sustainable technologies.

This mechanical engineering degree focuses on analytical and design skills, and you have the opportunity to apply these skills in an industry project.

Study supply chain management at master’s degree level and develop the skills for a career in this growing profession. Suitable for students with any bachelor’s degree.

Thorough knowledge and global understanding of supply chain logistics is key for navigating economies today – and instrumental to a business’s success. The Master of Supply Chain Management equips you with the skills to critically assess, plan, design, manage and innovate supply chain operations.
