Bachelor of Business in Marketing

at Massey University - Manawatu Campus New Zealand

History is a subject as large as our recorded past. Our cultural heritage, literature, arts, religions, politics, economics, social behaviours, 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.

The Bachelor of Animal Science (Animal Welfare) will help you understand the science behind how animals experience their environment. You’ll also examine what influences that and how that affects their behaviour and performance.

You’ll gain a relevant, up-to-date, scientifically-based knowledge of animal welfare. So you’ll be well-placed to make a difference in the lives of animals.

Language is part our everyday lives, yet how much do we actually understand about how it works? Linguistics is the study of language, its structure and meaning, how it is learnt and used, and what this says about who we are and where we come from.

Linguistics broadens your understanding of how language works in your own society. It also provides understanding of concepts and structures in languages and cultures beyond your own.

You’ll identify core similarities in language and communication, two activities that define us as humans. This qualification will appeal to you if you enjoy learning languages or have a curiosity about language.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Business (PGDipBus) provides you with an advanced education in business. It consists of taught courses, though you may include a project in an area of interest.

In this fast and changing society, it is important to develop versatile and transferable skills that can open many career pathways. English offers exciting and challenging courses to extend your knowledge of literary and media texts and expressive arts. Courses taught in the English programme cover a wide spectrum of topics. These include British, American, New Zealand, and postcolonial literature. You will also have the choice of courses in drama, creative writing, speaking, media studies, film, and gender issues. All of these courses are concerned with the fundamental skills of interpretation and expression.

Social anthropology is the study of the relationship between human beings and culture. It gives you a deeper understanding of cultural variation and cultural change. It allows you to better understand your own culture as one among many possible ways of being human. Social (or cultural) anthropologists seek to understand cultural differences. That includes the many ways people maintain and change the culture in response to new social contexts. Social anthropologists bring a comparative approach to the description and analysis of society based on fieldwork that extends across the globe, from hunter-gatherers to industrial nation-states.

The Graduate Diploma in Arts (History) is a bridging tool for graduates in other subjects to get the equivalent of a major in history.

Nearly all life on Earth is ultimately dependent on the primary productivity of plants. The study of plants is a fascinating investigation of the history of life, the natural world and the future of life on Earth.

The Bachelor of Science (Plant Science) will help you understand the crucial biological processes that underpin the very basis of life on Earth. Studying plant science will give you a solid understanding of the fundamental elements of the structure and function of plants, how plants grow and interact with their environment, and how to apply this knowledge in both natural and managed ecosystems.
