MASSEY UNIVERSITY

AMoNgST NEW ZEAlAND UNIVERSITIES, MASSEY IS UNIqUE. THRoUgHoUT ITS MoRE THAN 80-YEAR HISToRY MASSEY HAS PlAYED A DEFININg RolE IN THE DEVEloPMENT oF NEW ZEAlAND THRoUgH ITS gRoUND-BREAKINg RESEARcH, coMMITMENT To INNoVATIoN AND cloSE lINKS WITH coMMUNITIES AND INDUSTRY.

Mirroring New Zealand’s development from a primarily agrarian economy to a modern mixed-economy global competitor, Massey was established as an agricultural college in Palmerston North in 1927 and awarded university status in 1964. The Massey Albany campus was established during dynamic growth in the 1990s, and in 1998 Massey’s national portfolio was completed with the addition of the world-class School of Design and conservatorium of Music in central Wellington.

Today, Massey is one of New Zealand’s largest universities with around 36,000 students enrolled in one of its three campuses, as well as the ‘virtual’ distance learning campus. The three campuses are well established and offer rigorous academic programmes which are complementary to the campus location.

The University is organised into 30 institutes, schools and departments which reside under 5 academic colleges: Business, creative Arts, Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Sciences. Together the colleges offer more than 200 programmes of study and in excess of 5000 classes, which are delivered by the robust multi-campus and multi-modal structure.

Massey has witnessed more than a 40 percent rise in the number of PhDs in the past 10 years, with over 1,700 research masterate students and over 1,000 doctoral students. Massey’s success is further illustrated by Ako Aotearoa – New Zealand’s first and only centre for Tertiary Teaching Excellence, and by its notable achievement in producing the highest number of completed research degrees within New Zealand.

Internationally, Massey University continues to be ranked among the top three universities in New Zealand. Academic staff in many fields are internationally renowned, and leading-edge research is being undertaken across the academic colleges often in collaboration with other universities, research institutions and industry. Massey has a proud record of using this expertise to work with developing countries, and its focus on technology and business is also meeting new international demands.

InternatIonal allIances

Amongst Massey University’s many international partners is china’s prestigious Peking University. other key strategic research alliances include membership of the greater Mekong Subregion Tertiary Education consortium, alongside leading institutions and universities from New Zealand, Australian cambodia, laos, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Yunnan Province of china.

STUDY AT MASSEY UNIVERSITY

englIsh language stuDy

Students whose first language is not English, will be required to provide evidence of their proficiency in English to study at Massey University. For students whose English proficiency is not sufficient for a particular programme, may be advised to take an intensive English language course at the centre for University Preparation and English language Studies. For more details on English language programmes, please refer to page 34 or visit the Massey website http://english.massey.ac.nz

aDmIssIon anD enrolment

International students need to meet both an academic and English requirement for admission into a specific programme at Massey. For details on the admission and enrolment process, please refer to page 48. Alternatively, please visit the International office website at http://international.massey.ac.nz

full-tIme stuDy

Full-time students typically study 60 credits (4 papers) per semester, or 120 credits (8 papers) per year, and this pace enables the degree qualification to be completed within the specified timeframe. For example, a Bachelor of Business Studies (BBS) 3-year degree course requires students to complete 360 credits in total to graduate.

PaPers

Papers (known as classes/units/modules) are the building blocks of a degree. Introductory papers are at 100-level, increasing to 200-level, 300-level, 400-level in subsequent semesters or years. Each Massey University paper has a six-figure code to distinguish the subject and level, e.g. 152.261, where ‘152’ denotes the subject Management, and ‘2’ shows it is a 200-level paper.

PaPer creDIts

Each Massey paper carries an associated credit value, indicating its contribution towards the qualification being studied. In general the standard undergraduate paper is 15 credits.

The credit value indicates the time that a student might be reasonably expected to spend on a paper, including all lectures, laboratories, tutorials, visits and study time, in order to meet the assessment requirements satisfactorily. converted into hours per week, this is referred to as a paper’s effective weekly hours.

For a standard undergraduate (15 credit) single-semester paper, around 12.5 hours of study time per week could be reasonably expected. Therefore, an equivalent 15 credit double-semester paper would require a commitment of around 6.25 hours per week.

maJor

A major is a combination of set papers that make up the specialisation within a degree. A double major is available in some degrees and requires specialisation in two combinations of papers. For example, the Bachelor of Arts with two majors – Business Psychology and chinese, is one possibility.

teachIng methoDs

lectures are the main method of presenting information at undergraduate level. In addition, students are expected to participate in any associated tutorials, laboratories and practical fieldwork. Self-study and recommended readings are also an integral part of the learning requirements.

class tImetable

Most lectures and tutorials are scheduled in two-hour blocks, between 8.00am and 6.00pm Monday to Friday.

An hourly 10-minute recess enables students to move on to their next classroom. The public class timetable can be viewed at http://publictimetable.massey.ac.nz

assessment

Assessment for most papers includes various assignments, essays, tutorials and laboratory work throughout the semester, as well as a one three-hour final examination which is typically 40-60% of the final grade.

At the start of the semester, an Administration and Study guide is provided to enrolled students which clearly defines the learning objectives and assessment requirements.

Massey University has a 9.0 grade point average scale and letter grades and percentages are used when marking coursework. The passing grade is c which equates to 50%.

learnIng suPPort

learning Support centres on each Massey campus provide a series of workshops and individual tutorials for those students requiring additional assistance with assignment writing, note taking skills or exam preparation. In addition, academics are available, both directly and via email, to address any student enquiries relating to lecture or tutorial content.

For other student support services, please refer to page 42.

UNDERgRADUATE STUDY

Undergraduate Study

Massey University offers more than 40 undergraduate degrees delivered by its five academic colleges. Bachelor degrees range in length from three to four years and there are also a number of undergraduate diplomas and certificates available.

tyPes of QualIfIcatIons

Bachelor degree New Zealand Universities generally follow the British model of a three-year bachelor degree, with an increasing level of specialisation in each year. The degree structure almost always includes a subject major, and may incorporate a few optional interest subjects.

Bachelor with Honours degree These are undergraduate qualifications comprising an additional year of study beyond the standard three-year bachelor’s degree. For example, the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Design are both four-year honours degrees. Entry to an Honours year is at the discretion of the college and requires high academic performance.

graduate diploma These are undergraduate qualifications that can be used as a ‘bridging’ programme to a postgraduate qualification, or add a second area of specialization to a bachelor’s degree. This qualification duration is typically 1-year of full-time study.

PoSTgRADUATE STUDY

Postgraduate Study

Each year, around 20% of Massey’s student population studies a postgraduate qualification at Diploma, Masters or Doctorate (PhD) level. There are more than 100 postgraduate courses available in Business, creative Arts, Education, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Sciences.

Postgraduate study at Massey offers qualifications through taught courses or research. Taught courses normally offer a chance to gain higher professional qualifications, while research courses allow for in-depth research in chosen subject areas.

tyPe of QualIfIcatIons

Postgraduate Diploma A postgraduate diploma is a 1-year full-time specialist qualification that provides a pathway to research based study. Postgraduate diplomas offer students taught courses, as well as the opportunity for research. Progression to a master’s degree from a postgraduate diploma requires good academic performance.

Master’s degree The Master’s degrees at Massey are typically research-only, however some

have the flexibility to combine research and taught courses.

Progression to masters from bachelor level, normally involves two-years of full-time study, typically comprising taught courses in year one, and research in year two. For most, the postgraduate diploma is year one of a masters’ qualification, with progression into masters based upon academic performance.

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) This is the most advanced postgraduate qualification and involves the completion of a research thesis that makes an original contribution to new knowledge. Normally a minimum of four years of full-time study is required for a doctoral degree. Named doctorates

(e.g. Doctor of Education and Doctor of clinical Psychology) require completion of a research thesis as well as specified course work.

Ryan Jolie from Windsor, ontario, canada decided to study at the Massey, Manawatu campus because of his interest in the computer science teachable subject, and also for the city’s provincial environment and accessibility to central New Zealand; which proved to be perfect for his travel aspirations.

The graduate Diploma of Teaching programme was rewarding. He learnt how to teach students the process of learning, not just remembering or reiterating materials but how to develop a student’s skills for finding information and processing how they can apply that knowledge to the current situation. Ryan also discovered that the curriculum in New Zealand schools has a strong social context. Teachers aim to develop the social awareness of each student to get them involved in group teamwork in order to foster a sense of belonging and community.

college programmes feature innovation and teaching excellence, with Massey graduates being in high demand worldwide for their highly developed communication, problem-solving, team learning, and lateral thinking skills and abilities. The college has 470 academic staff committed to inter-disciplinary teaching and research to address real-life problems facing society worldwide.

The college of Sciences comprises seven research-focused Institutes and one School, including New Zealand’s only veterinary teaching school, which is accredited by the American, canadian and British Veterinary Medical Associations.

- Institute of Food, Nutrition and Human Health

- Institute of Fundamental Sciences

- Institute of Information and Mathematical Sciences

- Institute of Natural Sciences

- Institute of Molecular Biosciences

- Institute of Natural Resources

- Institute of Veterinary Animal and Biomedical Sciences

- School of Engineering and Advanced Technology.

The Institute of Information and Mathematical Sciences is conducting a search for planetary systems using microlensing observations which will

lay the groundwork for possible future New Zealand participation in Antarctic and space-based astronomy.

The Institute of Natural Resources is developing new techniques for understanding and monitoring geologic mass-flows. The new monitoring systems will be tested in the lab as well as at New Zealand’s Mount Ruapehu and a debris flood-prone area in Indonesia, and results will form a globally unique dataset to enable the testing of evolving scientific hypotheses of sediment-water flow mechanics.

The Institute of Fundamental Sciences is studying the mechanisms of protein interaction linked to prostate disease and neurodegenerative disease. The researchers have already found that cancer cells can be killed without affecting the surrounding tissue; they are now investigating the possibility of drugs designed to either inhibit (in heart and brain) or trigger (in tumours) apoptosis.

Seeking a science and technology-focused degree, Haryadi Sugiarto from Indonesia looked into several universities before choosing Massey’s Bachelor of Technology programme, and later the Masters in Biotechnology. “Massey is one of New Zealand’s biggest universities and it has high rankings. Massey’s approach to applying the sciences in industry matched what I was looking for – Biotechnology at Massey is not just a science and engineering

degree but also includes management and economics”. Valuable industry experience with AgResearch, New Zealand’s largest crown Research Institute; and Fonterra, a multinational dairy company, was part of the practical requirements of Haryadi’s degree. currently completing research at the University, Haryadi will then seek work as a Research Assistant or Product Development Technologist, “somewhere in the Asia-Pacific region”.

young natIon wIth a rIch hIstory

With little more than a thousand years of human settlement since the Polynesians first reached New Zealand in about 800 A.D., New Zealand has a rich and fascinating history, reflecting Mäori and European heritage. The first European contact occurred in 1769 with the landing of captain James cook. British sovereignty was claimed in 1840 following the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, considered a founding national document. In 1907, New Zealand’s independence and separate identity were further recognized when its status was changed from being a great Britain colony to an independent dominion.

comPetItIve global traDer

New Zealand in the twenty-first century is a modern country with well-developed industrialized, free-market economy competing in the global marketplace. With almost 20% of the country’s output exported, New Zealand is heavily dependent on trade, its principal export industries being agriculture, horticulture, fishing and forestry. Major export partners are Australia, the USA, Japan, china and germany.

The population comprises of 75% European ethnicity, 14% of Mäori descent (the “tangata whenua” or indigenous people), 6% Asian and 5% of Pacific Island origin. The country has a high standard of living and consistently ranked highly in international quality of life indexes. New Zealand society is diverse, sophisticated, and multicultural, and the honesty, friendliness and openness of New Zealanders or “Kiwis”, is world-renowned.

geograPhIc wonDerlanD

comparable in physical size to great Britain, colorado or Japan, New Zealand has a population of just over 4 million - making it one of the world’s least crowded countries. It is a haven for those seeking peace, rejuvenation and relaxation as well as a playground for thrill seekers and

adventurers; and New Zealanders lead the world in sports participation. A temperate climate with relatively small seasonal variation makes it an ideal place to live. New Zealand’s spectacularly beautiful landscape includes vast mountain chains, steaming volcanoes, sweeping coastlines, deeply indented fiords and lush rainforests. And the great advantage of New Zealand is that all of its diverse physical, cultural, and artistic landscapes are easily accessible.

worlD-recognIseD unIversIty eDucatIon

New Zealand university education was established in 1870 and has a similar structure and tradition to the British model. Today, there are eight state-funded universities in New Zealand, offering a broad range of subjects with different specialisations. New Zealand university students enjoy a personalised approach to their learning, where people are recognised and valued for their individuality; and an applied learning environment where theory and practice interrelate. New Zealand Bachelor’s degrees are recognised for enrolment in postgraduate programmes at universities throughout the world.

QualIty eDucatIon

New Zealand education is increasingly international in character, driven by trends which include the IcT revolution, employment markets transcending national borders, and a globally-mobile population of students, teaching staff and researchers. The New Zealand education system is based on guiding principles including quality-assured and portable education qualifications, and the provision of flexible pathways for study. National policies and quality assurance provide continuity and consistency across New Zealand’s education system. The New Zealand government-administered code of Practice for the Pastoral care of International Students is designed to ensure that a consistent, high standard of pastoral care is provided to all international students.
