Choosing a course of study
Study is a big commitment, both in terms of your time and financially. It is important to consider why you are studying and match your course to your goals and interests.
Courses are known at Massey University as programmes and papers. Programmes are your overall qualification (ie degree, diploma, certificate) whereas papers are the individual courses that you take to complete your chosen programme. See course types for a description of the different courses we offer.
