Online Science Degree :: Accredited Universities

The Master of Science (Dementia Care) is a clinically based program that prepares practitioners for advanced professional practice in the specialist field of dementia.

Graduates will have the ability to critically review the health and well-being of people with dementia; review social policy and its impact on the provision of dementia care; and develop advocacy skills in sectors relevant to dementia care.

The program involves four core subjects from the Graduate Certificate in Dementia Care, a further two core subjects - Reflective Practice 2 and Innovations in Practice Development - plus two health related subjects to be approved by the Course Co-ordinator.

Three of the core subjects are available via flexible delivery, ie web-based self learning plus 2-3 days on campus; other subjects are available by distance and flexible delivery, dependent upon the subjects chosen.

Earth science offers:

appreciation of the immensity of geological time

visualisation of the Earth’s structures

The capability to identify and understand the genesis of the Earth’s resources

skills to predict where the Earth’s resources can be found

an eye for understanding the natural processes that build our environments.

Earth Science is a multidisciplinary science that embraces geology, soil science, mineralogy, geochemistry, hydrology, and oceanography. It is dedicated to the science and history of our planet. When you major in Earth Science you begin a journey of understanding the processes that moulded our environment, our landscapes, geological resources, and our soils. This voyage of discovery involves developing an appreciation of the immensity of geological time, a visualisation of Earth's structures in three dimensions, a capability to identify and understand the genesis of the valued resources of our planet, a predictive capacity as to where these resources may be found, and an eye for understanding the natural processes that shaped our environment.

The major is designed to give students a wide knowledge of the Earth's mineral, soil, and water resources. With this knowledge, Earth Science provides an understanding of these resources for their intelligent development and future management. Massey University's Earth Science programme focuses on integrating the many branches of Earth Science with special reference to New Zealand. We place a particular emphasis on practical field and laboratory work, with a variety of field trip papers available each year.
