Specialise in Without Specialisation for your Master of Engineering Studies at Massey
Massey’s Master of Engineering Studies combines taught and research courses at a postgraduate level.

If you are already working, or your research experience is limited, this qualification will give you the learning you need to take your career to the next level. Or, you can use the degree to help you gain expertise in an area outside the focus of your undergraduate qualification (or current employment).

You will have access to engineering and advanced technology-related expertise and a huge range of equipment and knowledge, such as:

• Advanced engineering design facilities and 3D printers
• Smart computing systems 
• world-class mechanical and electronic workshops
• state-of-the art microscopic and genomic facilities
• robotics and automation, food, horticulture and agriculture expertise
• extensive farm networks
• a broad range of science, health, business and humanities-related staff.

With a Diploma in Arts (Creative Writing) you will examine great creative works and explore your personal creative approach through poetry, life writing, script writing and fiction.

Inspiration, communication and vocation are at the heart of Massey’s exciting Diploma in Arts (Creative Writing). It offers you the chance to develop your writing so that it’s pitch-perfect for a variety of audiences. You’ll enhance your critical thinking. You’ll also master a wide range of transferrable communication skills, all while pursuing your own creative vision.

Studying history will give you a new appreciation for the world around you. History is a subject as large as our recorded past. Our cultural heritages, literature, arts, religions, politics, economics, social behaviors, buildings, and landscapes all derive from past influences.

Studying history gives an understanding of where we have been and how the world has changed over time. It gives an appreciation of how people have faced challenges at different times, and all with the benefit of hindsight.

Develop valuable business skills, closely connected to practice. With the Master of Business Administration MBA (Global Business), you will gain management competence to work in firms and organizations that are active globally as part of an international supply chain or those that recruit staff from overseas.

Equip yourself with the knowledge and empathy to lead cross-cultural interactions. Through the study of linguistics you’ll grow your ability to drive social change and shape the future of our nation.

Linguistics is the study of language, including:

• Its structure and meaning
• How it is learnt and used
• What our language says about who we are and where we come from.

From interacting with friends to communicating with colleagues, language plays a fundamental role in both our public and private lives. This includes written and spoken communication, problem-solving, and social and cultural awareness. Our lecturers will encourage you to develop a deeper understanding of your own self-identity and social interactions.

Learn about operational maintenance and management of built facilities with Massey's Diploma in Facilities Management. This will open the way to a diverse and challenging career.
Facilities management is the final step in the design-build-manage cycle of construction. As a facilities manager, you’ll oversee the operational management and maintenance of buildings once they’re built to ensure our public spaces and workplaces are safe, healthy, sustainable, and productive. You’ll contribute significantly to the success of an organisation by making sure buildings are fit-for-purpose. That ensures everyone can perform their jobs effectively and efficiently. 

The Diploma in Facilities Management is aimed at school leavers and also at junior level facilities management professionals. For those already in the workforce, it will assist you to underpin your skills and practice with foundational knowledge of a rapidly growing sector.  

Massey’s Diploma in Arts (Statistics) will give you the skills to do calculations, draw graphics, and display new insights.

Statistics provides tools vital for the collecting, analysing and presenting of data. Statistics is much more than the organisation and display of data. Careful analysis of underlying questions and critical examination of the sources of data are part of the art of statistics. Modelling the variability in data to calculate the reliability of answers is part of its science.

Statisticians use computers extensively to do calculations, draw graphics and bring new insights. With increasing use of technology, people with data handling skills have become highly sought after in the workplace. More and more professions, from the every day to the exotic, depend on data and numerical reasoning.

Pursue your passion for education. The Massey Bachelor of Arts (Education) delivers skills and strategies for learning, from the sociological to the philosophical. You’ll explore the developmental and cultural factors that influence approaches to learning. You’ll gain transferable skills that will serve you personally and professionally.

A Massey University Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Mechatronics) equips you with the knowledge and skills you will need to develop your own mechatronic systems. These skills will help you develop effective solutions to the problems you will face in the industry.

The degree strikes a balance between a broad engineering education and practical abilities.

Is anything really good, or true, or beautiful? Do people have free will, or does science show that free will is an illusion? Are minds distinct from bodies or are they the same thing from a different viewpoint?

Pretty well everything in philosophy is open to challenge. That is what drives what we do in philosophy: we ask questions and challenge ordinary assumptions. Philosophy is about the development of strategies to achieve greater clarity and consistency in our thinking. It emphasizes the reasons for ideas. You will learn how to understand what you read rather than just to remember it. You’ll also learn how to engage constructively in debate and to think in new ways.
