Specialise in Ecology and Conservation for your Postgraduate Diploma in Science and Technology at Massey
Massey University’s Postgraduate Diploma in Science and Technology (Ecology and Conservation) gives you the opportunity to join the pathway to research at a master's level.
The qualification will develop your analytical thinking and research capability in ecosystems, conservation biology, the environment and biodiversity.
You will learn to address real conservation management problems. You will work in a small-group setting and engage with staff of conservation agencies who are working, on the ground, to save our endangered native species, or understand the behaviour of animals in their habitats as they change over time.
You will have the opportunity to take part in multiple field projects to experience the reality of conservation work in New Zealand, all before you graduate. This gives you an advantage with potential employers.
