You can’t go wrong when you have the option to explore numerous national parks, immerse yourself in Maori culture, have access to world class surfing and skiing – and world class education, all in one university. If you are looking for a study abroad experience that is action packed inside and outside of the classroom, Massey University is the place for you.
The Manawatu campus is Massey University's original campus and has a rich academic history, particularly in the fields of agriculture and animal studies.
Massey University's Palmerston north campus is home to around 9,000 students, Massey’s original campus is bicycle-friendly and set among beautiful park-like grounds. It is made up of two locations split by the Manawatu River. Turitea is across the river from the city and Hokowhitu is on the city-side. One-third of the people living in Palmerston North are between the ages of fifteen and thirty. Many are students, making Palmerston North a young person's city with a lively social scene. The city center is vibrant with its many cafes, pubs, live theater and live music.
Sport and off-campus adventure are also part of the city's attraction. Minutes from campus are some of the best mountain bike tracks anywhere. Further afield you will find bungy jumping, river kayaking, rafting, trout fishing, horseback riding and hiking. It's only two hours' drive to the capital city of Wellington, to vineyards and beaches in Hawke's Bay, or to snow-covered ski slopes at Mount Ruapehu in wintertime.
Massey University offers a wide range of extracurricular student activities available for all students, from the alpine club to fire-spinning to waterpolo. Clubs day, during the first week of the semester, is a great opportunity for students to peruse what's offered, but there is also a list of Massey University Clubs. Massey also has excellent recreation center facilities available.
