Master of Engineering Studies

The Master of Engineering Studies will help you move up the hierarchy in your engineering career, or delve into in-depth research.

Massey’s Master of Engineering Studies combines taught and research courses at a postgraduate level.

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, you can use the degree to help you gain expertise in an area outside the focus of your undergraduate qualification (or current employment).

Solve real-world problems

You will gain a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles of engineering. You’ll also be able to apply 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.

Advanced problem-solving skills

An integral part of your learning will be the experience of working in a team environment to solve problems at a variety of conceptual levels. You’ll gain the ability to learn independently and analyse industry needs. You’ll also be able to propose and validate tangible technical solutions. You’ll learn the skills to identify when your knowledge of a problem is lacking and be able to access and use the information required.

Access to broad expertise and equipment

You will have access to engineering and advanced technology-related expertise and a huge range of equipment and knowledge, such as:

  • 3D printers
  • world-class mechanical and electronic workshops
  • state-of-the art microscopic and genomic facilities
  • horticulture and agriculture expertise
  • extensive farm networks
  • a broad range of science, health, business and humanities-related staff.
