Bachelor of Science (Honours)

Note: This programme may have an on-campus or in-person requirement and therefore requires that students submit a current My Vaccine Pass on enrolment.

Massey University's Bachelor of Science with Honours is a prestigious qualification for those that are interested in progressing to further, in-depth research. This postgraduate qualification will also give you a career advantage.

Generally, the course consists of three-quarters taught courses and one quarter supervised research.

As a separate qualification of advanced courses and research in the major subject taken in the BSc, the honours programme can lead to a Master of Science by thesis only.

A 2017 Ministry of Education publication The post-study earnings and destinations of young domestic graduates, found that in New Zealand:

• Young master's graduates earn more than one and a half times more than the national median (five years after study)
• Earnings and employment rates increase with the level of qualification completed
• Five years after completion, the median earnings of young master's graduates are 15% higher than for those with a bachelor's degree.
