Become a communication specialist
You’ll gain an understanding of the complexities, challenges, and rewards of interpersonal and organisational communication – you’ll be a communication specialist.
Studying communication management at Massey gives you insight into how different forms of communication are used at work and in the community. You will also investigate how our ability to connect with others is influenced by factors such as culture, gender, and technology.
You can choose from courses that will re-shape how you understand yourself and your world, including Cross-Cultural Communication, Organisational Communication, Gender and Communication in Organisations. If you keep your grades up, you’ll also have the option of completing a communication internship.
International recognition
You will be joining a communication department that is ranked in the world’s top 150 (according to the QS International Rankings). Our lecturers come from both academic and industry backgrounds, giving you the best of both worlds. Massey’s communication programme is the longest-established inside New Zealand and our graduates have a well-earned reputation for excellence in both theory and practice.
Massey’s communication programme is only the seventh outside of the US to be recognised by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (ACEJMC). This accreditation recognises Massey's "good connections with industry, its commitment to constant improvement, its strong leadership, and large research output". Accreditation means your degree is internationally recognised, making it easier to arrange a student exchange and find employment overseas.
The department of Communication, Journalism, and Marketing is housed within Massey Business School, which is ranked in the top 2% of business schools globally. We are ranked No.1 in New Zealand and in the top 150 in the world for our business administration and communication programmes by ShanghaiRanking.
