   Getting in

   International applicants should apply through the university’s official admissions process and check the current entry requirements, document list, and any programme-specific rules on the university website. The university’s website should also be checked for whether you need to apply for a campus place or a distance option, and for any deadline that applies to your chosen course.

   What it costs

   Tuition is published at NZD 31,000 to NZD 41,500. Living costs will depend on where you study and how you live, so confirm estimated accommodation, food, transport, and insurance costs with the university or the relevant New Zealand authorities before you apply.

   Coming from abroad

   The university has 4,000 international students. It does not publish a language of instruction in the information available here, so confirm the teaching language, entry language requirements, visa documents, and whether your chosen programme is offered on campus or by distance before applying.

   How it compares

   Among the 12 universities in New Zealand, Massey University stands out for combining public research status with both internal and distance education. Its spread across Auckland, Palmerston North, Wellington, and Singapore gives it more location options than a single-campus university, so it may suit students who need flexibility in where and how they study.
