Where scientific thinking meets real world problems Massey’s natural sciences degree provides you with a broad and flexible education across the sciences. Using inquiry-based learning, you will analyse issues such as sustainability from an interdisciplinary perspective. Opportunities to engage in exciting research projects and electives from subjects beyond the traditional science disciplines means you will be working where scientific thinking meets real world problems.
