Length of Programme:    1 semester
Commencement:    July 2014

The Postgraduate Certificate in Geothermal Energy Technology is a highly practical and applied qualification which has been designed to train participants in key aspects of developing geothermal energy fields. The course content draws on recent advances in technology and leading edge research and uses experts from academia and industry as lecturers and tutors. New Zealand has been at the forefront of geothermal research and training since the world’s first liquid-dominated high temperature geothermal power plant was installed at Wairakei, in the central North Island, more than 60 years ago. Today, there are more than 25 such systems operating in the country. More than 1450 students from more than 50 counties have graduated from The Geothermal Institute at The University of Auckland with a world recognised qualification; many of our graduates are now leaders in the geothermal industry world-wide. Students find the nine days on field trips a memorable experience and particularly beneficial.
