Postgraduate Diploma in Science and Technology - Animal Science

at Massey University - Manawatu Campus New Zealand

Knowledge of ancient Greece and Rome is essential for an understanding of our own modern civilisation. The Greeks and Romans had a profound and lasting influence on world culture in the areas of:

•     Language
•     Philosophy
•     Science
•     Medicine
•     Law
•     Political institutions
•     Art and architecture.

They also created and developed nearly every genre of Western literature. With a Massey Bachelor of Arts (Classical Studies) you can trace meaningful connections between classical antiquity and our own 21st-century civilisation.

Software engineering brings together the disciplines of computer science and information technology. This degree is a highly-practical and sought-after qualification that is practice-focused and industry-relevant.
Studying software engineering will see you gain the knowledge, tools and practical skills to be able to design, construct, test and maintain large software applications.

The Bachelor of Information Sciences (Software Engineering) is a joint major which means that you will study aspects of both computer science and information technology.

Your learning will focus on:

• The design and construction of large software applications
• Both soft and hard software development skills
• The technical knowledge of computer programming from computer science combined with the design and team skills of information technology.

This is an exciting and challenging time for chemistry. Solutions to global challenges such as sustainability, energy supply and health and medicine will all require new materials and molecules. These will be developed by chemists.The study of chemistry is fun, relevant and stimulating. Your lecturers are passionate, engaging and internationally recognised researchers.

The Graduate Diploma in Information Sciences (GradDipInfSc) is intended mainly for graduates in an unrelated area who are seeking to retrain or upskill in the information sciences.  Many of the students are studying via distance (online study) because they are working full time.

Massey is one of the few universities in New Zealand where your information sciences qualification covers all five disciplines of computer science, data science, information technology, information systems and software engineering.  Many graduates have found it really useful to complete the Graduate Diploma “with no endorsement”.  This means that you can select the courses you are most interested in from across the range of subjects.  You are strongly encouraged to select “no endorsement”.

You’ll learn a broad spectrum of skills from business management through to software development.  So you’ll emerge from your studies at Massey with a well-rounded understanding of the whole industry. You’ll gain the applied skills that you’ll need to become an excellent ICT professional.

What will I learn?
You will gain skills in:

• the analysis, design and deployment of complex information technologies
• software design and development
• the use of professional software tools, and the administrative and organisational aspects of IT
• how to work in a team in the IT environment
• topics such as computer security, internet features, user interface design and more.

Massey’s Graduate Diploma in Arts (Creative Writing) will give you the equivalent of an undergraduate major in creative writing without completing a second bachelor’s degree. You can then apply for postgraduate study in creative writing if you wish.

The Bachelor of Communication (Communication Management) gives you insight into how organisations and communities use communication, whatever form it takes. You’ll investigate how factors such as culture, gender and technology influence our ability to connect with others.

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.

Improve the productivity and sustainability of agricultural systems in New Zealand and around the world. The Postgraduate Diploma in Science (Agricultural Science) is the stepping stone to a research-based degree.

Massey University’s Postgraduate Diploma in Science and Technology (Agricultural Science) gives you the opportunity to join the pathway to in-depth research at a master’s level.
