Main business activity
Massey University is New Zealand’s defining University and is an integrated multi-campus institution of higher learning that creates new knowledge and understanding. With campuses in Auckland, Palmerston North and Wellington, we offer high-quality learning experiences that empower people and their communities to prosper while meeting international standards of excellence in research and teaching.
Who we are
Among New Zealand Universities, Massey is unique. Throughout its 80-year history Massey has played a defining role in the development of New Zealand as a nation through its contribution to primary land-based industries, our commitment to innovation, our distinctive mix of internal, extramural and international teaching, and our close links with business and the community.
Our people are the core of our organisation. They produce quality research outputs and the standard of their teaching has created a demand for Massey qualifications. The world of learning is changing rapidly and we have taken a leadership role by developing a distinct Massey model of learning. Our ‘Road to 2020’ strategic priorities are to ensure our campuses are great places in which to work, study, teach and research.
We are committed to the continuing growth and development of our University by providing excellent support services for students, an awareness of Massey’s heritage, the professional development of staff, the highest standards of building design, cutting-edge technology, excellent library services and a supportive collegial culture.
