Master of Business Studies in Economics

at Massey University - Auckland Campus New Zealand

Undertake a shorter, more flexible study option with the Diploma in Science and Technology at Massey.
Later you may have courses you have passed under the diploma qualification credited to a bachelor’s degree. That will be on the proviso that the courses comply with the regulations of the degree in question.

The course is open to anyone who has gained admission to Massey University, but in some cases, specific courses may require a subject background at level 3 NCEA.

Study the political, economic, social, and cultural factors that influence the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policy in New Zealand.

Want to know who makes decisions on many of the important issues, such as climate change, poverty and student loans? Want to find out how to influence those decisions? Interested in debates about rights, freedom, equality, justice?

The Diploma in Arts (Social Policy) will provide you with an understanding of the political, economic, social and cultural factors that influence the development, implementation, and evaluation of social policy in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Social policy explores the ways in which power, resources, and opportunities are distributed within society and what influences that distribution. It introduces you to law, politics, and the role of government in a democratic society. The qualification also examines the relationship between the state, political parties, the judiciary, the legal system, and the public in shaping legislation and developing policy.

You can develop your passion for literature, studying how great writing has shaped identity, culture and society. Massey’s Bachelor of Arts (English) offers you thorough coverage of great literature in English, from Shakespeare to the present day. Our courses are taught by active researchers who share your love of literature. They’ll introduce you to amazing writing and the reasons why it matters.

You’ll gain knowledge in the following areas:

• Application of Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools across the lifecycle of a building project.
• Examination of data collection and analysis techniques, and their application in construction research.

New technologies such as drones, virtual reality, 3D printing and other technologies as they apply to the construction industry.

You’ll develop a broad understanding of current construction industry operations, systems and technology. These include:

• The project life cycle
• Stakeholder management
• Sustainable buildings and smart living spaces

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.

Massey’s Master of Science (Human Nutrition) will give you the knowledge and experience you need to interpret and contribute to current issues in human nutrition.

The Bachelor of Information Sciences (Data Science) gives you the skills to fill the rapidly growing number of jobs in the area of data science and analytics.

You’ll learn how to make sense of complexities so others can understand them and how to apply computing to data-oriented challenges. You may have an interest in commerce, government, natural and social sciences. You can learn how to apply technology to drive potentially world-changing innovation, decision-making and research in those fields.

Data Science brings together some of the most interesting aspects of computer science, IT and statistics in order to make a unique, custom-designed and relevant specialisation for the current job market.

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.

Gain the human resource management knowledge and strategic skills to help elevate your career and maximise the potential of people within your organisation.

Massey University’s Master of Management (Human Resource Management) gives you an international perspective on human resource management. You will learn how to become a human resources expert with an in-depth knowledge of the theory of HR. You'll also learn the strategic skills to apply that knowledge to different types of industries and organisations.

This degree is most useful if you come from a discipline outside of HRM and have found yourself working at a level where you need human resource management skills. Or if you have an undergraduate human resources qualification and want to gain more in-depth knowledge.

We teach you how to be a practitioner and a strategist. You'll learn how to take the best of the theory to solve issues in varying workplace situations, including an industry case study.

You will be able to take advantage of Massey University staff research expertise in human resources and related areas.
