With our flexible study options, supportive team and world-class lecturers, you will have everything you need to achieve your goals with Massey.
Balance work, life and study
Studying online means you can work towards a university course or qualification in a way that suits you, from anywhere in the world.
Whether you want to study 1 course or a full qualification, you can plan your study to suit your lifestyle.
How it works
Online learning at Massey takes place in Stream. You'll get access to Stream two weeks before the start of your course. You can use Stream to:
- take part in classes and tutorials online
- watch recordings of classes
- access course activities and materials like reading lists, articles and notes
- view dates for assignments, tests and examinations
- submit your assignments
- ask your lecturers questions
- share ideas with other students in forums and chats.
If your course has online classes or tutorials you can join them live at their scheduled time. But if you can't make it, they're always recorded, so you can watch them when it suits you.
Some courses have compulsory contact workshops. You can find out if a course has a workshop on each course page.
When you study online with us, you can expect to:
- be taught by experts in your chosen field
- be provided with support services and study resources
- use our off-campus library service to get electronic resources, books and articles.
