Once I started studying at Massey I knew I had made the right choice for me and I never considered going anywhere else for my postgraduate degree. A lot of this was thanks to the lecturers who understood my passion for football and provided opportunities for me to work in the sport.
Aidan Wivell
Master of Science in Exercise and Sport Science
Massey’s programme gave me a great understanding of how the health system works in New Zealand.
Bronwyn Thornton Hume - Emergency Assistance Coordinator
Bachelor of Health Science
I really liked the smaller classes and how the lecturers get to know you. It makes it easier to ask for support if you need it.
Carmel Trubuhovich - Nutritionist, New Zealand Nutrition Foundation
Bachelor of Science (Double Major in Human Nutrition and Physiology)
In the 10 years since I graduated, I have never had a problem getting a job, wherever I am. I’ve nursed in New Zealand, Australia and the UK.
Erin Simmons
Bachelor of Nursing
I really enjoyed my experience at Massey. The teaching staff is knowledgeable and helpful, the course interesting, and the students friendly.
Haley Clark
Master of Applied Social Work
The best part about my career is that it enables me to actively engage with the public. I love that I’m not bound to an office. I meet people from all different backgrounds. Each day is different and can change with just one phone call or email.
Michelle Campbell - Environmental Health Officer, Wellington City Council
Bachelor of Health Science (Human Health and the Environment)
If you’re ever stuck, you can just knock on a lecturer’s door and ask them for five minutes to run through your problem. They’ll talk you through it until you understand and you’re confident that you know what’s going on. That was a really good support system
Nathan Armstrong
Bachelor of Science (Double major in Exercise and Sport Science and Human Nutrition)
