New Zealand Qualification

The Certificate in Science and Technology allows you to undertake a shorter course of study at university level than is required by a three-year bachelor’s degree or one year diploma. It is used primarily as a ‘pathway’ to help you complete subjects you need to enter another qualification. If you are already enrolled at Massey this programme also enables you to add a complementary area of study to your main degree.

The Certificate in Science and Technology is more flexible than many other similar programmes – allowing you to choose specific courses you need for prerequisites, or for interest. You can complete this course in one semester of full-time study or a longer period of part-time study.

You may have courses passed under this programme credited to a bachelor’s degree, or any “higher” undergraduate qualification provided the courses comply with the regulations of the degree in question.

Studying towards your master's is a challenging and satisfying postgraduate experience. Massey University’s Master of Science will give you the knowledge and skills you need to gain a more in-depth understanding of an area of scientific study and advance your career. When you graduate with a Master of Science you will have learned how to work at a high level of academic achievement, work to deadlines under pressure and communicate effectively.

Massey University’s Master of Science is a 180-credit master qualification (a 240-credit MSc is also available). The 180-credit masters offers a rigorous programme of learning, yet can be achieved in one and a half years.
