Massey has discontinued this major already but if you are still completing it your options for teach-out or transfer will depend on whether you have completed the requirements (120 credits each) for Part One and Two or are partway through Part Four of your qualification by the end of the 2023 academic year.
By the end of 2023, I will have completed Part Two
If you have completed Part Two by the end of the 2023 academic year, you will need to enrol in another NZ university’s BE(Hons) and transfer your Massey University credits towards an appropriate major. No other NZ university provides the same major but as the first two parts of the Engineering and Innovation Management major are identical to the Mechatronics major, you will have a number of choices.
Transfer to:
AUT BE(Hons) Mechatronics Engineering major
In most cases, students completing Year Two of the Massey BS(Hons) Electronics and Innovation Major can transfer to AUT BE(Hons) Mechatronics Engineering major with no additional courses or semesters of study. Recognition of Prior Learning for all courses previously passed at Massey will be provided. There are no GPA requirements.
Full details are available here: AUT - Transfer options to AUT Engineering.pdf
Any enquiries should be sent to the BE(Hons) Programme Director Xuejun (Jack) Li (xuejun.li@aut.ac.nz).
University of Auckland BE(Hons) Mechatronics Engineering major
Students who have completed Part Two with a GPA of over 6.5 can be considered for transfer to the University of Auckland BE(Hons) Mechatronics Engineering major but there are very limited places. Individual assessment for credit transfer will be required.
For more details see: UoA - Options for Massey transfers to UoA.pdf
Students considering this option are advised to contact Yusuke Hioka y.hioka@auckland.ac.nz for assistance with planning their studies as soon as possible.
University of Canterbury BE(Hons) Mechatronics Engineering major
A progressive transfer will be available, and students will need to complete an additional semester of study in their fifth year. Students will study a hybrid Year Two and Year Three, followed by a hybrid Year Three and Year Four, and compete the remainder of Year Four in their fifth year. Students will also need to take three online summer school courses which begin on 27 November.
Full details are available here: UoC - Transfer options to UoC Engineering.pdf
Students thinking of this option are advised to contact the Director of Studies michael.hayes@canterbury.ac.nz for assistance with planning their studies as soon as possible.
University of Waikato BE(Hons) Mechatronics Engineering major
In most cases, students can directly transfer from Massey University to the BE(Hons) Mechatronics major at the University of Waikato. You will receive credit for all Massey courses and will study a mix of second- and third-year papers at UoW in your third year. Completed practicums will also be credited.
For more details see UoW-Massey Eng credit to Waikato Eng credit.pdf.
Any questions should be sent to Janine Williams (janine.williams@waikato.ac.nz).
Victoria University of Wellington BE(Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering
In most cases, students who have completed Part Two would be able to transfer all their completed credits to the VUW BE(Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering major with no additional courses or semesters of study required.
Further details are available here: VUW - Massey to VUW Transfers.pdf
Enquiries of an academic nature should be made to Christopher Hollitt (christopher.hollitt@vuw.ac.nz).
University of Canterbury BE(Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering major
Students who have completed Part Two are advised to contact Neville Watson neville.watson@canterbury.ac.nz to discuss their study plans as soon as possible if they are considering transferring.
By the end of 2023, I will have completed some of Part Four
If you have completed all the requirements for Parts One, Two, and Three and have completed some courses towards Part Four you can complete your study at Massey University in 2024.
Completion of the Massey University BE(Hons) through study at Massey University
Students who choose the teach-out option will remain enrolled in their current Massey University BE(Hons) and major. You will complete your qualification through Massey University courses at the Auckland or Manawatū campus.
Teach-out at Massey University is only available for the 2024 academic year.
