Massey University has been Australasia’s leading provider of university-based distance education for nearly 60 years. More than 330,000 students worldwide have studied via distance with us.

Massey University provides an exceptional learning experience for all our borderless students, whether it is delivered fully online or a blend of online and face-to-face. We offer more than 45 qualifications that are fully online and can be accessed anywhere in the world.

If you like the idea of gaining a world-class degree from a university ranked in the top 3 per cent of all tertiary institutions internationally, without having to leave home, then our borderless online study could be for you. The programme content is identical to that offered to students on campus.
