Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies

at Massey University - Manawatu Campus New Zealand

When you take environmental studies at Massey, you will explore the dynamic relationship between human society and our environment. It’s a relationship that is always changing. You will learn to think critically and understand the big picture, rather than seeing environmental questions simply as problems that can be solved easily with a technological fix.

The Graduate Diploma in Arts (Sociology) will give you the equivalent of an undergraduate major in sociology without completing a second bachelor’s degree. A Massey Graduate Diploma in Arts (Sociology) is a bridging tool for graduates in other subjects to get the equivalent of a major in sociology.

The quantitative skills that you’ll gain from a Massey Bachelor of Arts (Statistics) can set you apart from other graduates when applying for jobs. A Massey BA (Statistics) will teach you to interpret the science of evidence. Statistics allow us to quantify risk and make effective decisions even when we are uncertain about the world around us. Should I buy or sell my stock? Is this new treatment effective against breast cancer? What adverts should my website display in order to increase my revenue? How can I better interpret that weak distress signal coming from a vessel far out at sea? Being able to use data to find answers to questions like these makes statisticians some of the most highly sought-after employees.

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