Electronics underlies much of recent human technological advancement. It's one of the most rapidly changing areas in applied science and is one of NZ's and the world's growth industries.

 

Electronics includes electronic communications technologies such as radio and lasers, large-scale integrated electronics systems, and the software that governs the application of this technology.

 

This major is available for the Bachelors of Applied Science (BAppSc) and Science (BSc) respectively.

 

Electronics is the technology that puts the 'e' into e-verything: e-mail, e-commerce and more.

 

It's at the core of many of the appliances and equipment we take for granted - computers, television, cell phones, cars, cameras, watches, and electronic games - and plays a vital role in the control and monitoring of industrial, commercial, scientific and medical equipment and processes.

 

Graduates work as electronics professionals in the rapidly evolving business climate of new electronic technologies.

 

Electronics specialists are often called upon to work in an increasing number of industries, including communications (radio and optical systems), commercial or industrial control systems, consumer goods, entertainment products, computers and their peripheral devices, scientific and medical equipment, wireless applications or research and development.
