HE MIHIE te huinga tauira e tau nei, nau mai, haere mai.

Haere mai rā ki Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa. Tomokia te whare ako, te whare o te mātauranga, kia tīkina mai ai ngā kete o te wānanga. Mā tēnei ara, e tutuki ai ngā wawata me ngā tūmanako e ngākaunuitia ana mō te rangi āpōpō. Haere mai ki ōna whenua kura, ko Turitea ki Manawatū, ko Otehā ki Ōkahukura, ko Pukeahu ki Te Ūpoko o Te Ika. Ko Te Pūrehuroa e whakahuatia nei, he rarangi whetū ki te rangi, he hīnātore ki te māramatanga. Inā hoki, ahakoa he tīmatanga, kāhore he mutunga o tēnei mahi te whai i te mātauranga. Nō reira, nau mai, kia mārama ai ngā pūmanawa, kia pakari ai ngā pūkenga. Ka ea te kōrero, mā tini, mā mano ka rapa te whai, ka hua ai te wānanga. Koia tēnei ko te reo maioha o Te Kunenga Pūrehuroa, e tukuna atu ana ngā mihi manahau ki a koutou katoa. E rarau ki te tapuwae nui o Tāne, ko Tāne-i-te-Wānanga, ko Tāne-nui-ā-Rangi.

Kia toi te mana, kia tau te mauri, kia tupu te māramatanga ki a tātou katoa.The name Te Kunenga ki Pūrehuroa is a symbolic reference to the knowledge journey that you are about to embark upon. Te Pūrehuroa represents the infinite constellations of stars that radiate the skies above us, illuminating a pathway towards a future that you will cultivate and forge during your time here at Massey University. The acquisition of knowledge brings with it a lifelong commitment to learning and is a journey without end – from inception to infinity. We encourage you to draw inspiration from the many kōrero, or ancient narratives, that make Massey University so distinctive. In the spirit of the great knowledge seeker Tāne, we hope that you prepare yourself well for the challenges ahead and that you may aspire to attain ultimate success.

POSTGRADUATE STUDY AT MASSEY IN 2021

HE AHA TE AKO PAERUA?

WHAT IS POSTGRADUATE STUDY?

Postgraduate study enables you to take your career to the next level, through in-depth study in a particular area of interest. It helps you take your prior experience and knowledge, and use your initiative as you research, and contribute to your field of expertise. It requires planning, dedication and will take time away from your everyday life, but ultimately your hard work could open the door to new opportunities and greater responsibility.

HOW DOES IT DIFFER FROM UNDERGRADUATE STUDY?During your undergraduate study, you will have learned many of the skills required to study successfully at postgraduate level. However, it is important to realise that postgraduate study requires greater independence, and you’ll need to use your own initiative in completing course work and undertaking research projects. You’ll generally be expected to have some knowledge and prior experience in your subject area, however postgraduate study can also be used to support a career transition. As an example, a person with a science PhD may contemplate an MBA. You’ll be supported and encouraged by your supervisors in a range of ways, but in many circumstances, you’ll be in the driving seat when it comes to getting work done. Postgraduate study is more strongly focused on theory and research in the discipline, and many postgraduate qualifications have a research component. You’ll also be expected to possess a higher level of critical thinking and analysis, show that you read extensively, and can develop your own views, and defend them.

ARE YOU READY FOR POSTGRADUATE STUDY?Postgraduate study requires time, commitment, and a range of skills beyond those you may have needed as an undergraduate. We have provided a series of online tools and resources to help you think about the different aspects of studying at a distance, and to assess your abilities, time commitments and motivations for study. Check them out on the Massey website: massey.ac.nz/postgrad

FINDING TIME FOR STUDYStudying at university requires a significant time investment. Students often comment that balancing their everyday commitments with study requirements can be challenging. It is important to carefully consider how many courses you should take, especially when beginning your study. You should be realistic about the number of courses you can take in a semester and consider all your existing commitments. You will need to spend approximately 10 to 12 hours each week for a 15-credit single semester course, or about 5 to 6 hours per week for a 15-credit double semester course.

PATHWAYS TO POSTGRADUATE STUDYMost postgraduate students enter their study already possessing a bachelor’s degree. However, if you want to change the direction or focus of your study, you may need to begin with a graduate diploma. Master's degrees can be one or two year programmes, depending on your entry route. They can be mainly coursework, a combination of coursework and a research project or thesis, or a thesis only. Doctoral degrees are awarded entirely for research reported in your thesis (PhD) or for a combination of coursework and a thesis (the ‘Named’ doctorates).

TYPES OF PROGRAMMES AVAILABLEHONOURS DEGREEHonours degrees are postgraduate qualifications comprising an additional year of study beyond the bachelor’s degree in the discipline. Entry to an honours degree requires prior high academic performance in undergraduate degree study. Students selected for an honours degree will enrol in the postgraduate degree after completing the undergraduate degree. Completing an honours degree may qualify you for doctoral study if your achievement is high enough.

MASTER’S DEGREEA master’s programme allows you to undertake advanced study – usually on the main subject in your qualifying undergraduate degree. Some master's programmes allow you to move into a different discipline from your undergraduate study.

POSTGRADUATE DIPLOMAA postgraduate diploma builds on your prior academic achievement, and generally takes one year of full-time study to complete. It can lead to further study at master's or doctorate level.

POSTGRADUATE STUDY AT MASSEY IN 2021

Page 6: Postgraduate Prospectus 2021 - Massey University

DOCTORATE The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree is the qualification to kick-start your research career. It is the highest degree Massey offers and can be acquired in most of the disciplines. It may involve external supervisors from a research institute. It is Massey’s most supervised, fully research-based degree. A PhD is awarded for a thesis, which is an integrated and coherent report demonstrating your ability to carry out independent research and analysis at an advanced level in a particular field, or an advanced creative-practice work including a substantial written component. Your thesis should make an original contribution to knowledge of the subject it focuses upon. It will be assessed by three independent examiners in a process that includes thesis assessment reports and an oral examination. It normally takes at least three years of full-time study to complete a PhD. If you’d prefer to study part-time, you need to allow five to six years to complete the research and writing.

NAMED DOCTORATESMassey University offers two named doctoral degrees: > Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsych) > Doctor of Social Work (DSW)

These are specially-designed degrees involving high-level study and research. They are ideal professional development options for existing and prospective senior managers and leaders.Named doctorates comprise one-third course work/practicum and two-thirds supervised research. In all other respects, including the examination procedure, they’re equivalent to a PhD, especially in the standards of discipline, rigour and scholarship required.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTSEntry requirements for each programme vary, so it’s best to talk to the team at Massey University to find out what level of postgraduate study is right for you.

n STACEY HAYWARD Postgraduate Diploma in Māori Resource Development Senior Policy Analyst at the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) I was always drawn to the environment and the importance of managing natural resources in a sustainable manner for future generations. I lived in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands as a young child. Living with those communities I was fascinated with how other indigenous cultures lived in harmony with their environment. My family also worked in the primary sector for generations, so it seemed logical that I wanted a career in the natural resource and environmental management sector. Massey University offered the right mix of tertiary education in natural resource management. It is also world renowned for its research and tertiary qualifications in agriculture, horticulture and forestry which was a big hook for me. I really enjoyed my study experience. I had plenty of support and found it an enriching and stimulating environment. One of the most positive outcomes of my study was learning more about my identity as Māori. Having spent a large portion of my young life overseas I missed that opportunity. The time I spent studying allowed me to explore and discover more about Māori culture and values. The qualifications I obtained at Massey were highly sought after by government departments and I believe they continue to be even more relevant for those wanting a career in central or local government. Working in policy is exciting; what we do shapes New Zealand and our communities for the future. My ambition has no ceiling. I want to go as far as I can in my career and make a positive difference in the work I do.

n SULUETI TUPOUTU’A LAWAI MANU O’UIHA Master of Finance, PhD in Finance "In December of 2018, I was humbled to be the first-ever Pasifika Doctoral Scholar in Finance to accept the prestigious Massey University Vice-Chancellor’s Doctoral Pasifika Scholarship. With such an honour also came added responsibilities. In 2019, I was President for the Investment Club at Massey University, Palmerston North. I also serve on the Scholars@Massey Leadership Team and as a Teaching Assistant and Tutor for Finance in the undergrad program. My spare time includes mentoring business students and serving as an advisor to Pasifika students in finance and business. I also take on test supervision and marking part-time. My days at Massey are routinely crowded with a range of things to do while shuffling the writing of my dissertation. I find my work both demanding and fulfilling, especially giving back to Pasifika students who need encouragement. I am incredibly indebted to God for my own experiences, which has helped me to remain grounded, but, likewise, helps me to be compassionate to the academic struggles that others face. A piece of advice my father gave me is perhaps useful too for all Pasifika students. He says, “in academia, there are always distractions. But, remain focused. The going will be tough but never give up. Aim for the stars, so if you miss the stars, at least you end up on the clouds. However, if you only aim at the top of the trees, when you miss that, your fall to the ground will be unpleasant and painful.” Finally, get your priorities straight. Always put God first and in His rightful place, and everything else you desire in academia will follow.”

n IAN MILITONI Master of Health Science “Massey provided me with that lifeline to finish my university degree, and for that, I'll always be in gratitude. Not only did they provide an opportunity for those like me that did not do so well in their last study programme, but they also offered distance programmes for those like me that were currently employed full-time and wanted the opportunity to study while working. One of the services that helped me significantly as a distance student was Massey's online learning platform. The Stream site gave me the opportunity to connect peers and teaching staff, watch online lectures, lessons or presentations, submit assessments and much, much more. My Integrated Human Health major has provided me with the tools and acquired knowledge to continue my passion into health science research. And hopefully, I'll make a contribution in my field of interest (being Pacific Island health) one day. I would thoroughly recommend Massey as a study institution. Not only for those in full-time employment or tied-up in life in general but also for those with future ambitions or aspirations in providing essential knowledge in specific research areas within the health science field."

n PAWEENA CHATSUNGNOEN PhD student in Education (2015) Studying my PhD in New Zealand has been the best experience, and I have been blessed with the opportunity to live and study here with my family over the past five years. The Massey Institute of Education has a strong reputation among New Zealand universities so I am proud to study here. I completed an English language course at Massey followed by a short course in qualitative and quantitative research in education. These short courses gave me a strong foundation to begin my PhD project. The best thing about Massey is the strong team of international student support. I am very appreciative of the support and guidance I received from them, and they would kindly help us anytime that we want. Also, my supervisors looked after me very well. They provided lots of valuable suggestions for my study and encourage me to continue my writing. They also gave me spiritual support during my PhD journey, allowing me to maintain a balanced life between my study and family. I plan to move back to Thailand with my family and be an assistant professor at Maejo University teaching English language to undergraduate science students. I hope to develop a master's programme in TESOL which will hopefully enter a MOU with Massey. My vision is to use my knowledge and insight from my studies to develop students in my country.
