About the tuition fees estimates
Tuition fees are charged by Massey for each course you enrol in as part of your qualification. They can also include fees for additional components, such as materials or field trips.
The exact fees charged will depend on which courses you select at the time of enrolment. You can view fees for courses on the course details pages.
Fees are in New Zealand dollars and include Goods and Services Tax (GST). If you are studying outside of New Zealand you may be eligible to pay fees without GST. Please make sure you provide correct information about your location of study when you apply so we can assess your eligibility and apply this to your student account. For more information contact the student fees team.
