Massey’s Master of Engineering Studies is a high-quality programme, combining taught and research courses at a postgraduate level, able to be completed in one year full-time.
If you are already working, or your research experience is limited, this qualification will give you the learning you need to take your career to the next level or pursue more in-depth postgraduate research.
Solve real-world problems
While you will gain a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles of engineering, the Master of Engineering Studies emphasises on the application of your engineering learnings to complex real-world industrial problems. Massey staff have strong relationships with industry and you can utilise these to find projects of relevance to you.
Unique specialities
The degree will help you gain expertise in an area outside of the focus of your undergraduate qualification, or current employment, or help you progress your career in your area of interest.
You can choose from a number of endorsements. Massey is the only New Zealand university to offer an endorsement/major in innovation management.
An integral part of your learning will be the experience working in a team environment to solve problems at a variety of conceptual levels. You’ll gain the ability to learn independently, analyse industry needs and propose and validate tangible technical solutions, identify when your knowledge of a problem is lacking, and be able access and use the information required.
Access to broad expertise and equipment
As an engineering student at Massey University, you gain access to engineering and advanced technology-related expertise as well as a huge range of equipment and knowledge such as 3D printers and world class mechanical and electronic workshops, state-of-the art microscopic and genomic facilities, horticulture and agriculture expertise, extensive farm networks and a broad range of science, health, business and humanities-related staff. This unique capacity will enable you to build machines and devices for testing hypotheses and develop products in a modern multidisciplinary engineering context.
