The main focus of Development Studies at Massey, New Zealand is at postgraduate level. We have a strong research culture and attract postgraduate students from a variety of different countries, many from Asia, Africa and Oceania. The range of postgraduate (and some undergraduate) papers offered represents the varied research interests and expertise of our academic staff.

Development Studies also draws on Massey’s expertise in agriculture, economics, social anthropology, politics, natural resources, geography, environmental studies and business studies. It seeks to combine a critical approach to development theories and experiences with the acquisition of specialist skills in development practice.
