Library Services for Intending Doctoral and Masters Students
Intending Doctoral and Masters Student membership is available to individuals who:

- are not currently enrolled, but have the support of a Massey University department.
The Library acknowledges that you will require access to Library resources in order to research a topic and produce a proposal to be accepted into your programme. All applications are considered on a case by case basis.
Cost
No cost.
Application
Please arrange for the Head of School/Institute, Department or supervisor to submit a written request for Library membership. The request should include the student name and full contact details together with confirmation that the student is preparing a research proposal.
