Students begin the ‘National Expedition and Internship’ program with an introduction to New Zealand through a two week Massey staff-led expedition of the Northand South Islands. Experience New Zealand’s dynamic geographic and cultural terrain, visit some of the country’s most popular destinations including glaciers, volcanoes, and geothermal zones, and get way off-thebeaten-track with our experienced local staff.

Through field visits and engagement with local experts, students will gain an understanding of the intricate relationships between agricultural and environmental issues in New Zealand and how these issues shape the everyday lives of kiwis and the country as a whole.

Four week internships within government agencies, agribusinesses, non-profit environmental organizations, wildlife sanctuaries, and wineries are all possibilities. Massey will match the skills and experiences of the students with the range of opportunities available within the Hawke’s Bay region.

The internship will involve a 120-160 hour placement which is accompanied by an intensive course of project work, journaling, and reflections. Over the final weekend of the placement, students will relocate to the Manawatu campus of Massey. During those last few days, students wrap up the academic portion of the internship, reflect on the experiences, and celebrate the time in New Zealand.
