Certificate in Science and Technology
The Certificate in Science and Technology allows you to undertake a shorter course of study at university level than is required by a three year bachelor’s degree or one year diploma.
It is used primarily as a ‘pathway’ to help you complete subjects you need to enter another qualification.
If you are already enrolled at Massey this programme also enables you to add a complementary area of study to your main degree.
Choose your subjects
The Certificate in Science and Technology is more flexible than many other similar programmes – allowing you to choose specific courses you need for prerequisites, or for interest.
A shorter programme
You can complete this course in one semester of full-time study or a longer period of part-time study.
