Any enquiries should be sent to the BE(Hons) Programme Director Xuejun (Jack) Li (xuejun.li@aut.ac.nz).

Students who have completed Part One 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. Transferring students would need to take the summer semester course ELECTENG 101 at UoA but other courses can be credited.

Students who have completed Part One with lower GPA who wish to change their specialisation are likely to be able to be accommodated. For transfers to:

• Mechanical, Computer Systems (or Electrical and Electronics) – the summer semester course ELECTENG 101 will be required
• Civil, Structural – all Part One courses would be credited
• Chemical and Material – the course CHEMMAT 121 – Materials Science is required.

University of Auckland Summer School information

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.

Transfer from Massey University First Part to Year Two at the University of Canterbury

The number of places in Year Two of the University of Canterbury BE(Hons) Mechatronics Engineering major are limited and there is competitive entry (including for those currently studying in Year One of the University of Canterbury programme).

Those with a Massey Engineering First Year GPA of 5 or higher will be offered a place in Year 2, conditional on also passing the three online summer school courses which begin on 27 November. Full details are available here: UoC - Transfer options to UoC Engineering.pdf. Applications to enrol into Year 2 of the BE(Hons) Mechatronics major must be completed by 1 December 2023 due to the competitive entry Login | Application to Enrol | UC (canterbury.ac.nz)

Those with a GPA near to 5 may also be able to be considered if they achieve a GPA of 5 or better when calculated from the combination of their Massey Engineering courses and their grade in the summer school UoC EMTH119 course.

Full details are available here: UoC - Transfer options to UoC Engineering.pdf

Those with a Massey GPA below 5 will be offered a place in Year Two of the UoC BE(Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering major. Depending on GPA in Year Two there might be the possibility to transfer to Year Three of the BE(Hons) Mechatronics Engineering major.

The Electrical and Electronic Engineering major at Victoria University Wellington contains mechatronic material throughout and may be of interest to transferring students.

Further details are available here: VUW – Massey to VUW Transfers.pdf

In most cases, students who have completed Part One or Part Two of the Massey BE(Hons) Mechatronics 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.

An average of a B is required of first year BE students at VUW. Any transferring students with a somewhat lower grade would still be able to transfer into the BE, but would need to perform at around the B level in the subsequent year, or they would need to transfer to the BSc. Students with lower GPAs could consider transferring directly into the BSc(Electronic and Computer Systems).

Enquiries of an academic nature should be made to Christopher Hollitt (christopher.hollitt@vuw.ac.nz).

Students who have completed Part One will be able to transfer to Year Two of the University of Canterbury BE(Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering major after completion of the following two summer school courses. These courses will be made available online to Massey University students and there will be no need for travel to Christchurch for this study.

• EMTH119 Engineering Mathematics 1B (15 credits) commencing 27 November 2023; and
• Prog4fun Programming for Fun (0 credits) commencing 27 November 2023
