4 04 OUR GRADUATES CHRIS RODLEY Ngati Koata, Gene Scientist Working on a cure for cancer. It s no clichéd scientific dream, but a reality for gene scientist Chris Rodley. It was a love of science and asking questions that have never been asked before that led him from teen truant to top Maori scholar at Massey. Today Chris is a long way from home doing research on cancer cell research in Switzerland as part of an international team at the University of Geneva. His successful academic career is a far cry from his days as a teenager who left Long Bay College aged 16, with no qualifications. I got in with the wrong crowd. I was bored, he said when he graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biosciences with First Class Honours in But his lifelong fascination with science, especially genetics, always remained with him. After a spell of apple picking in the South Island and then several years as a bank teller in Auckland, restlessness and boredom compelled him to pursue his dream of becoming a medical researcher. Encouragement from one of his former schoolteachers also helped to spur him on, he says. I had to do a lot of independent study to fill in the gaps in my knowledge base. I made a lot of sacrifices to do well. I didn t have much of a social life I had to study ten to 12 hours a day. The hard work and dedication paid off. Mr Rodley was named top Massey Maori student for 2007, and was awarded a Purehuroa Maori Postgraduate Award in 2007 for excellence and achievement. He also won a Health Research Council of New Zealand Māori PhD scholarship worth $105,000 for three years. One of the highlights of his time at Massey was being a finalist in the MacDiarmid Young Scientist of the Year competition, as well as publishing three papers in international journals, which he says helped him obtain his current position. I really love science and asking questions that have never been asked before. Today he is the only native English speaker among a team of 12 international researchers at the University of Geneva s Department of Cellular Biology. He is investigating the behaviour of cervical cancer cells to better understand the disease mechanisms. CHARLOTTE ROBERTSON BNatSci 2015 Graduate Graduating in Intern, DairyNZ and AgResearch The best part of this degree was creating my own pathway by selecting the papers that would be most interesting and useful to me rather than following a prescribed course. I think the most valuable skills the degree teaches are: critical thinking, tackling global issues and self-directed research. Because it exposed me to a variety of topics in science, I can understand and communicate with people from scientific disciplines very different to my own. Studying at Massey has set me up very well for my future I was accepted for a 12 month internship at DairyNZ and AgResearch before I finished my undergrad! This internship is broad and will give me the opportunity to explore the dairy industry from different sectors and gain experience in these different areas. I am very glad I have this opportunity because I will be able to see the dairy industry from different perspectives. I want to continue my studies after this internship and complete a Masters and PhD. My goal is to get a position where I can develop and implement environmentally sustainable farming practices.

11 11 NUTRITION AND GENETICS Genetics is the science of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. Genetic research helps us understand why certain diseases are prevalent and how genetic mutations can affect our health (e.g. lactase persistence). Human nutrition involves the study of interactions between nutrients and the human body. Knowledge of how food components are digested, metabolised and utilised explains their effects on genes, cells, organs and the whole person.

21 21 BACHELOR OF NATURAL SCIENCES The world needs scientists who have expertise not just in science, but also in putting science into a global context. Solutions to today s big issues like species extinction, climate change, spiraling population growth and the spread of disease require broader thinking. The study of natural sciences will encourage you to work across scientific areas. You ll learn about the sociology of science, sustainability, philosophy and project management, putting fundamental sciences into the real world to come up with real solutions. The Bachelor of Natural Sciences is unique in New Zealand and is specially designed for individuals who have enquiring minds and want to investigate the natural world. The degree provides a basic framework but you can tailor it to fit with whatever you are passionate about!

24 24 VETERINARY PRE-SELECTION SEMESTER The first semester of study for the Bachelors of Veterinary Science and Veterinary Technology are pre-selection semesters and you can do both these on our Auckland campus. Those selected transfer to our Palmerston North campus for the professional part of the programmes. We encourage you to visit the Massey University website for more information about the veterinary programmes. Auckland pre-selection students have a range of options open to them. An important consideration is more people apply for places in our veterinary programmes than there are places. So, we encourage you to have an alternative plan. When you enrol in the veterinary pre-selection semester you are asked to enrol in a second Massey degree that will take you into Semester 2 study, should you be unsuccessful. Our Auckland students usually enrol in the Bachelor of Science or the Bachelor of Natural Sciences.

25 25 BACHELOR OF VETERINARY SCIENCE BVSc RECOMMENDED BACKGROUND credits of NCEA Level 3 chemistry, biology and physics At least one mathematics subject to NCEA Level 3 (calculus, statistics or modelling).
