We now have a great deal of information about the natural world available to us – the problem is how to make sense of that information. Ecology attempts to do this. It is a broad discipline that teaches you how to make sense of the interactions between organisms and their environment.

The Bachelor of Science (Ecology and Conservation) at Massey offers some of the best courses on ecology in New Zealand - making it the number one choice if you want a broad knowledge in the discipline.

• Our ecology staff are world-leading and their cutting edge research features heavily in the teaching.
• You can expect to learn about the latest research findings in lectures.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics and Computer Engineering) will help you become an excellent electronic and computer engineer. You will be multi-disciplinary, have excellent practical skills and be able to design, develop and manage both software and hardware projects. You will be capable of working in a team environment and solving problems from the device level to networks, communication systems and embedded systems.

Electronic systems sense what is happening in the world around us. Computer systems process this data to extract information, or to control some activity. Virtually every aspect of our lives involves electronic and computer technology.

Tablet computers, smart phones and internet banking are commonplace today. These are the obvious examples of electronics and computers in modern day life. However, most electronics and computer systems are hidden:

• In appliances (from toasters to washing machines to refrigerators)
• In cars
• In traffic systems
• In heating systems.

Electronics and computers have integrated and become all-pervasive in modern-day life, which ensures the continued relevance of this area of engineering.
