Most popular Massey courses revealed

Inquiries by Massive have uncovered which degrees are the most popular to enrol in. 

The following degrees are ones to avoid for any hipster students seeking that thrill of an empty classroom. But then again, we go to Massey, so even a popular course is still sad-looking, lol.  

At the top of the list, in no particular order, fell the Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Design and the Doctor of Philosophy. The Doctor of Philosophy is one of only two postgraduate programmes in the top 13 courses, the other being the Master of Management. 

According to a Massey spokesperson, the five largest programmes of study made up 40% of student enrolments. The top 13 made up 60% of enrolments. “In contrast, the 100 qualifications with the lowest enrolment represented in total just 5% of students, including 11 qualifications that had no enrolments in 2019,” they say. 

Some other familiar programmes in the remainder of the top 13 include pre-vet/Bachelor of Veterinary Science and the Bachelor of Accountancy, Bachelor of Nursing and Bachelor of Communication.  

Adam, a former Massey student who studied a BA in Philosophy, says he may be a small part of the BA majority that loved studying philosophy, although he felt he didn’t see many BA students who specifically studied philosophy at Massey. “The content was substantial and it’s also a subject where you can shitpost pretty much as much possible so long as it’s ‘justifiable’,” he says. God bless our youth.  

What Massive can confidently conclude from this data is that if your degree does not feature in the top 13 courses, then you can rest easy with the knowledge that you are a super special snowflake, verified by *statistics*.
