Master of Engineering in Mechatronics

at Massey University - Auckland Campus New Zealand

To understand learning in social settings of both formal and informal education, we must also understand the psychological concepts behind learning and social interaction. The Diploma in Arts (Educational Psychology) draws on knowledge from both psychology and education to introduce new ways of thinking about learning and development. It addresses the topics of learning and motivation, individual and systemic educational strategies that are inclusive of all learners.

The Graduate Diploma in Arts (Philosophy) will give you the equivalent of an undergraduate major in philosophy without completing a second bachelor’s degree.

Philosophy isn’t just about abstract thinking. Studying philosophy develops your critical thinking skills: your ability to assess whether arguments are rationally compelling and to make your arguments compelling to others. This skill is important in the workplace and is consistently ranked by employers among the most desirable attributes in an employee.

Develop your analytical skills and enhance your ability to extract value from data.

New data capture and processing tools require business managers who know how to convert data into information. Analytics is the key to extracting useful and interesting insights from data.

The Bachelor of Business (Business Analytics) will make you a data analytics professional, with the knowledge and skills to identify organisational data-related problems. You will practice with analytics tools and techniques to extract, transform, and analyse data to provide evidence-based solutions for competitive advantage. You will interpret big data and use it to build and test business models, and communicate with a wider audience.

Ethical practice is critical while dealing with sensitive data. The Bachelor of Business (Business Analytics) will broaden your ability to manage and critique contemporary issues in business analytics including ethics, data sovereignty and governance, privacy, acquisition and processing.

This qualification exploits the value of data to meet the needs of organisational decision making and meet strategic goals. It cultivates hands-on skills with different analytic tools to enhance data driven decision making.  

You’ll gain skills related to identifying data problems and understanding data analytics. You’ll help build systems for dynamic data driven decision making, and practice data ethics.

The Postgraduate Diploma in Construction (Construction Project Management) is the stepping stone to a research-based degree such as a master’s.

Massey University’s Postgraduate Diploma in Construction (Construction Project Management) is a pathway to in-depth research at a master's level.The program gives you the opportunity to show your analytical thinking and your high-level research capability.

Learn how advances in molecular analysis are changing the face of medicine, agriculture, horticulture, and ecology – and how you can help.

Molecular cell biology encompasses a hugely important area of study for the 21st century. It unifies many disciplines, ranging from cell biology, physiology and chemistry to computer science, and from patent law and medicine, to bioprotection and food production. It underpins many exciting and dynamic industries that are changing rapidly.

In the Bachelor of Science (Molecular Cell Biology) you will study the big questions of life:

• What are we made of?
• How do we work?
• Where did we come from?
• How are we and our world changing and adapting?
• How are organisms related and how does evolution work at a molecular level?
• Why do diseases or disorders develop and how can we treat them?
• How can we create better medicines and more efficient agriculture?
• How can we protect ourselves and our environment from disease?

With Massey’s Postgraduate Diploma in Construction (Sustainable Built Environment) you’ll learn strategies and techniques for sustainable design and construction of built environments.
Climate change presents specific challenges that require innovations during the entire lifecycle of projects. You’ll be introduced to many aspects influencing the building project lifecycle including:

• Climate change impacts and mitigation
• Green building practices
• The principles of sustainability
• The UN Sustainable Development Goals relevant to the built environment.

From here you can go deeper into sustainability techniques in the construction industry, or develop the research skills that will support your further study.

You’ll be able to apply modern sustainable built environment and zero carbon approaches in all facets of construction.

Massey’s Master of Finance combines the study of advanced finance theory with the choice of completing the qualification either by undertaking a Research option or a Professional option.

What will you learn?
Your study will focus on finance, but help you put this specialty into the context of other business disciplines.

This qualification has a focus on real-world learning – you can utilise our relationships with industry to draw on your own work experience. You will also learn the application of techniques in environments like our Trading and Investment Rooms – the first of their kind in New Zealand.

You will be taught by some of New Zealand's leading finance practitioners and will learn how to apply high-level in-depth research in the workplace.

The Master of Finance will also help develop your oral and written communication skills to the level expected of senior business leaders.

The Massey MA (Social Anthropology) gives you a different perspective on world affairs. Studying social anthropology develops your understanding of other cultures and ethnic groups. It shows you how your way of life is just one of many possible ways of being human. You’ll learn to challenge your existing beliefs and put yourself in others’ shoes.
