About the course
What this course offers and how you will benefit
This Level 8 NZQA accredited (60 credits) postgraduate certificate in Connected Environments combines data, data ethics and technologies to give you the edge in your career. Develop deep practical knowledge on how to design better outcomes for people, place and planet.
This programme looks at Connected Environments through an Internet of Things (IoT) lens. IoT technology has shaped our world through smart connectivity and automation. IoT is the way everyday objects share data via the internet, sensors, processing technology and software. We can now see, hear and sense in nearly any environment – built or natural.
Now that we can track, measure and analyse data in real time, we must also consider how this impacts our communities and environment. This programme is your opportunity to design sustainable tech-enabled solutions that create better outcomes for today and the future.
This innovative 34-week programme was created in close consultation with leading experts and technologists. At the end, you’ll have an actionable strategic solution to drive better outcomes in your industry, organisation or community using connected technologies.
