Massey History
Massey officially opened on 20 March 1928 to cater to growing demand for an agricultural college in the North Island of New Zealand. It was named after former Prime Minister William Ferguson Massey, who was an early supporter of the university. By the end of the first year Massey had 85 enrolled students. Massey's first woman student graduated in 1941, and the first woman academic staff member was appointed in 1945.
Following World War II Massey continued its steady growth and began to offer a range of other academic programmes. In the 1990s Massey expanded from Palmerston North, to campuses in Albany and Wellington too. With the development of an innovative distance learning programme, Massey now has over 35,000 internal and extramural students around New Zealand and the world.
Massey University presently has no vacancies listed in our database.
