Engineering Jump Start
Jump Start equips diverse students, including those not meeting Physics/Maths requirements, with essential skills for engineering programmes, fostering confidence and knowledge essential for success.
What is Engineering Jump Start?
Engineering Jump Start is a four-week in-person preparation paper offered at our Hamilton campus from late January to mid February for prospective BE(Hons) students. The relaxed teaching environment of Jump Start combines elements of both high school and university approaches.
Who can benefit from Jump Start?
All prospective BE(Hons) students can benefit from Jump Start. The course covers entry-level physics and maths (similar to NCEA Level 3) and is essential for those who may not meet the direct entry requirements of the BE(Hons) or have been away from studies for some time. Additionally, it eases the transition to university life and provides an opportunity to foster new friendships.
