Our range of industry-relevant, interdisciplinary and flexible communication programmes are designed to prepare you for that first job – and beyond. Don’t just study communication, experience it with opportunities for real-world learning embedded into our degrees.
If you already have a degree, a postgraduate qualification will deepen your understanding of communication practice and take your career to the next level. Postgrad study is going to demand more in-depth and independent study but you’ll find it hugely rewarding and empowering!
What made me pick Massey was the variety. I didn’t want a degree that would limit my options and I can confidently say, I am happy with my decision. I’ve graduated with a range of skills including article writing, filming and editing skills, creative writing, marketing knowledge, and writing communication plans for companies.
The best part about studying at Massey is that I could study subjects that I enjoyed with clearly enthusiastic tutors and peers.
My degree has given me the opportunity to change my life for the better and opened doors to a career that I love in public relations…
