Specialise in Zoology for your Master of Science at Massey
When you study towards the Master of Science (Zoology), you will be able to take advantage of Massey’s expertise in animal-related disciplines. We have a wide and relevant group of expertise within the university:
zoology
veterinary science
ecology
wildlife health
conservation biology
agriculture
physiology
animal science
environmental management
social sciences.
You will learn from, and research with, highly-skilled, internationally recognised and active researchers in these fields, with a huge depth of knowledge and experience. Whatever focus you’d like to have in your postgraduate study and research, there is likely to be an expert at Massey who can help you dig deeper into your area of interest.
Work across the sciences
The qualification also works across related majors within the Master of Science (MSc). For instance, if you major in zoology, you can also still take courses from across the MSc (Conservation Biology) and MSc (Ecology). This will give you an in-depth knowledge of those most closely related qualifications.
When you graduate with a Master of Science (Zoology) you will have learned how to work at a high level of academic achievement, work to deadlines under pressure and communicate effectively.
A Master of Science in Zoology is a good fit if you:
would like a career related to zoology and animals
would like to do an industry-relevant research project
want to study with lecturers and co-students who are passionate about zoology.
All students must meet university entrance requirements to be admitted to the University.
