Massey is one of New Zealand's largest universities in terms of student numbers, with nearly 38,000 total enrolments. It has an 80-year tradition of academic excellence across a wide range of disciplines following its early recognition as New Zealand's premier institution for agricultural and horticultural teaching and research. Today, the University is a progressive and dynamic multi-campus entity, well regarded for its innovation and ability to provide programmes that meet the needs of domestic and international students.
Massey's campuses are located in Palmerston North, Auckland and Wellington. The original campus is in the thriving provincial city of Palmerston North; the Auckland campus is just 20 minutes from the CBD and five minutes from North Shore's beaches. The Wellington campus is in the centre of the city.

The application of the latest research findings is common to all degrees. Massey is regarded internationally as a leader in many applied science research fields and is home to New Zealand's most powerful computer.
