Massey confirms campus in Singapore

On April 17th, vice chancellor Jan Thomas officially signed a collaboration agreement to bring a Massey campus to Singapore.  

The university announced its aim to enroll 5000 students globally by 2026.  

The news broke that Massey was planning a major face-to-face campus in Singapore in August last year, amongst news of job and course cuts.  

The agreement was made with PBS academy executive chairman Viva Sinniah, with PM Christopher Luxon as the witness.  

Deputy vice-chancellor of global engagement, Tere McGonagle-Daly told Massive that Massey had been operating on-the-ground in Singapore since 2008 and were very familiar with the environment, including the local regulatory environment. 

“We are New Zealand’s leading and largest provider of offshore education with 2,975 offshore students at present.” This figure includes transnational education programmes in China, Singapore, Vietnam and Australia, and distance students.  

Massey was working to register a branch campus in Singapore through funds managed by Massey Global Singapore Private Ltd.
