Description: The New Zealand program offers students the opportunity to enroll in a wide range of Massy University courses across the five colleges: Business, Education, Sciences, Humanities and Social Sciences, and Creative Arts including an extensive program in Maori Visual and Performing Arts. Courses popular with students include New Zealand: Fauna & Flora, Environmental Issues, Plate Techtonics and Geology, Mid-Twentieth Century Aotearoa Literature, Maori Language, Defense Studies, and Economy. Massey University operates three campuses located in three different cities within the North Island of New Zealand. Each campus offers students a unique environment in which to study and immerse themselves in the local culture.

Highlights: Palmerston North (Palmy) in the Manawatu region is a university town, not touristy, so you will get a true taste of Kiwi culture within a friendly, young and "laid back" atmosphere. As a university town there is a great selection of cafes, pubs and restaurants catering to the student pallet and wallet. Theater and live music performances are scheduled around town, and popular student pubs come to life during the year, providing great entertainment. There are many hidden treasures in this area including luxurious country retreats, award-winning gardens, uncrowded championship golf courses, special interest museums, galleries, historical homes, and a host of adventures for adrenaline junkies. Throughout the year this lively region hosts many major national and international events - sporting, cultural, trade shows, conferences and exhibitions.
