Massey University
Ranking Highlights

Renowned for its academic excellence and diverse campus community, Massey University has consistently secured top global university rankings. Offering a wide array of courses across various fields and disciplines for its students, Massey University stands out and has an impressive global ranking, and is surely a world-class education place for international students.

Rated B by Shiksha Grading, Massey University is also rated B++ for M.Arch. Looking at the Shiksha Grading by Courses, most of the Massey University courses are in the range of B++ and B grades.

Although there are multiple grading platforms accessible for students to check university rankings, what makes Shiksha Grading stand out is that Shiksha uses the aggregate of all the publicly available university and course rankings from top-ranking publishers and maps it into nine buckets, namely A++, A+, A, B++, B+, B, C++, C+, C. With this method, courses are graded on the basis of their availability at the college in a particular country and universities are graded by the countries.

Moving on, according to 'University Ranking' category of QS 2025, Massey University ranks #239, which is stable in comparison to its last year’s ranking, i.e., #239 in 2024. Massey University also ranks #501 in THE 'University Ranking' category 2024. As compared to the last year, Massey University witnessed an improving trend in its THE (Times Higher Education) ranking which stood at #601 in 2023.

Also, for QS Architecture & Built Environment raking category, Massey University ranks at #101 position in 2024.

Apart from the global ranking bodies, Shiksha has also graded Massey University streams, such as Mass Communication & Media, Accounting & Commerce, and Arts ( Fine / Visual / Performing ) with A++, A, and B++ grades. The presence of multiple rankings online can prove to be overwhelming to students looking to study abroad. Hence, Shiksha Study Abroad has launched Shiksha Grading. With it, students will no longer be required to check multiple ranking organisations to know about the performance of a particular university. Just checking Shiksha rating will suffice.

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Batch of 2025

4.6

A great place to learn and live.

Tips: The government here provides scholarships to international students, so you should check to see if any are available. I did not get any scholarships because my subject does not include any scholarships like that. But overall, this university is so good that they value your culture and religion.

Likes (Student Life): Student life at this university is great. You'll have a good environment with supportive professors and lovely friends. Your classmates will be supportive as well, and all of your professors will help you grow professionally in your career.

Dislikes (Indian Food): The food in New Zealand is very different from what I'm used to. Here, people eat boiled food with no spices or salt. As an Indian, I love spicy food that includes at least one or two spices. Also, we love rice, but here they don't eat anything like that. They just eat boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, and rice without salt or spices. They don't even eat curry.

Master of Business Administration (MBA) - Batch of 2024

4.7

Massey University ranks third among New Zealand universities.

Tips: The transition was smooth. The time difference with India is huge (6.5 - 7.5 hours). University provides you with scholarships, based on your education, work experience etc. There is no such thing as a daily allowance in NZ. You need to get a part-time job to support yourself. The university is very big and beautiful, the courses are very nice, the professors are experienced in their field of studies and NZ is a beautiful country, if you are a nature lover you will enjoy your time in NZ.

Likes (Indian Food): There are lots of Indian grocery stores in Auckland and you can get almost everything that you get in India. All the vegetables and the other things you find in a local grocery store you can get it here. All kinds of pickles, spices, lentils and other things you can get easily.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): The job market is tiny and companies ask for local work experience. Companies can sponsor your visa if you're in an IT job and your skills are difficult to find. Management roles are not easily offered, one has to start from a different job role and then gradually move to your desired role.

Master of Construction in Quantity Surveying - Batch of 2024

3.1

It is a supportive community and provides good education.

Tips: Students should be aware that the college provides a supportive and inclusive environment. The faculty members are friendly and knowledgeable. There are plenty of resources available for personal development as well as academic. Transitioning was pretty easy for me, mainly because I was able to find some good friends at the university. Make sure to find a good social support system. I did not avail any scholarships. I am very much satisfied with the university, the course and the country.

A fulfilling and supportive academic journey at Massey University.

Tips: Before joining Massey University, students should know about its academic environment and the need to be proactive in engaging with the various opportunities available. Transitioning was smooth, with a noticeable cultural shift towards more interactive and student-centred learning. I secured a scholarship through the university portals, which provided significant tuition fee relief. Overall, I am very satisfied with Massey University, course and the welcoming nature of New Zealand.

Likes (Indian Food): I rated the food options from my country of origin 5 because the area around Massachusetts University offers a diverse range of authentic restaurants that cater well to my diet preference. The locality around the university features a variety of restaurants, including Indian, Italian, Chinese, and local New Zealand cuisine. Pricing varies with options for every budget; fast food joints and food courts offer meals around $10, while mid-range restaurants usually charge $20 per person. I prefer cooking for myself as it is more economical and allows me to tailor meals to my diet preference.

Dislikes (Internships): I rated internship opportunities 3 out of 5 due to limited availability influenced by the economic recession and a noticeable preference for local candidates, which can restrict opportunities for a larger student base. While the guidance provided for finding and applying for internships is very helpful with work on resume writing and interview preparation, the support lacks the personalised assistance and direct industry connection that could enhance internship accessibility. Although the internships are relevant in my field of QS, the scarcity of positions remains a significant challenge.

I highly recommend Massey for Business studies and Finance.

Tips: Massey University is multicultural. You will find people from different ethnicity. There are opportunities to avail Scholarships. The staff looked after me during Covid. New Zealand is a welcoming country. I thoroughly enjoyed my time studying at Massey. I highly recommend students to keep Massey as an option while applying abroad.

Master of Finance - Batch of 2025

3.3

The university has a great faculty and is academically oriented.

Tips: It's a decent college with good faculty and is academically oriented. The study is self-directed for the most part and assignments help with hands-on learning immensely. However, you won't get spoon-fed, so be prepared to make YouTube your guru. Overall, I think I have come out with satisfactory industry knowledge.

Likes (Indian Food): There are plenty of Indian food joints with good quality food. Indian grocery stores are bound and everything is available. You would have cuisines from all parts of India and the price can range from 15 to 100 dollars/head depending on where you pick to eat. Every food court has at least one or more Indian food options.

Dislikes (Internships): Student visa holders are last on the priority list for internships and the New Zealand market is vulnerable to economic downturns. You have to rely on networking which is difficult for a new migrant. I know students who have applied for over 250 internships without any success.
