Welcome to the Massey Academy of Sport
Massey is the first university in New Zealand to be named an ‘athlete-friendly’ university by High Performance Sport New Zealand.
That’s because we’re not just about great facilities and getting good grades, we’re about the flexibility to be able to fit the two together.
It’s the programme of choice for New Zealand’s high-performance athletes, supporting you to achieve your best.
