Research master’s

Massey University’s Master of Business Studies gives you a career advantage by combining the study of advanced theory with the opportunity to do specialised, business-focused research.

This master requires you to have an undergraduate degree, but this does not have to be in a business subject.

You will be joining communication and media-related programmes ranked as some of the best in the world.

Massey’s communication programmes are only the seventh outside of the US to be recognised by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (ACEJMC). This prestigious award recognises Massey's "good connections with industry, its commitment to constant improvement, its strong leadership, and large research output".

Massey University’s communication and media studies programmes also rank in the top 200 and our business and management programmes rank in the top 250 in the world (by QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) rankings).
