Skills employers need

Combine your interest in business and entrepreneurship with an understanding of how information systems are a vital part of organisations. Learn how to manage knowledge, effectively use social media in your business and how to manage IT projects. If you are interested in IT but prefer working with people and establishing client requirements then the Bachelor of Information Science (Information Systems) is the right choice for you.

The quantitative skills that you’ll gain from a Massey Bachelor of Arts (Statistics) can set you apart from other graduates when applying for jobs.

Politics is life, and like life, politics is a struggle. The study of politics equips you with the concepts, theories, and facts necessary to make sense of that struggle. Politics is about us: how we make decisions in society and who gets what, when, and how. Politics is also concerned with the conflict of ideas and values, not only at the level of the local community or the nation but also internationally. More specifically, it has to do with who governs and how and why decisions that affect all of us (such as how much students pay to study at a university) are made.

Our courses are taught by active researchers who share your love of literature: they’ll introduce you to remarkable writing and the reasons why it matters.

With Massey’s BA (Educational Psychology) you will explore lifelong ako/learning and teaching through an understanding of cultural, cognitive, social, behavioural and emotional aspects of learners and teachers.

• An art that seeks to apply those understandings in the real world, to help learners realise their potential

You will learn about the complex relationships between learners and their environment. You can choose from a wide range of courses that reflect the diversity of psychology and education.

The skills taught in the Bachelor of Business (Financial Planning and Advice) will help those who wish to develop knowledge relevant to this important and growing sector. The qualification can be configured to assist you if you are either wanting to become a financial planner or those already in the industry that are looking to gain further certification. Please note that this qualification does not satisfy the educational requisite established by the Financial Markets Authority under the current Code of Professional Conduct for Financial Advice Services.

It will be possible to cross credit some of the credits from the certificate back into the bachelor’s degree as part of the elective schedule.
