Because of our diverse range of programmes, learning can be quite different here at the Polytechnic depending on what you study. Every programme has its theoretical content, which is usually taught in a classroom. Most of our courses are very applied in nature and involve hands-on components; you could spend time in a beauty salon, an automotive workshop, in a server room, or out on the ocean. One thing’s for sure. As a student we’ll give you all the support you need to succeed. What's the teaching & learning philosophy?

At Bay of Plenty Polytechnic the needs of our learners are paramount and everything we do is based on that. In practice this means that tutors make the effort to identify the students' preferred learning styles and try to match those with the theoretical and practical requirements of the courses they teach.

In our definition, good teaching is about effective engagement between teachers and students, and quality relationships between them. To achieve this, our teachers are committed to getting to know their students, their names, histories, experiences, fears and goals, as well as sharing some of their own experiences.

Testimonials


I was desperate to start my higher studies in United Kingdom. My first application was made in 2004 and the 2nd was made in 2005. My refusals in both occasions caused by my un matching structure of education and career as clearly stated by UK Visa Officers. Therefore I had to give up my idea of studying in UK.
