Our three Massey campuses

Manawatu campus in Palmerston North
Manawatu, the university campus in Palmerston North, is one of the best places in the country to experience a real student-focused lifestyle. Nearly half the city's population is under 25, so Palmerston North is the perfect place to study and make friends.
