The course provides a strong training in core multidisciplinary oceanographic science together with specialist knowledge in selected topics of marine-orientated science, and a strong background in the French language. The 4 year course is taught in a friendly atmosphere by a wide range of internationally recognised scientists who are able to introduce their current research into the teaching programme. This 4 year degree includes the exciting prospect of a year's study of Marine Science in either Paris or Bordeaux in Year 3.
Practical work forms an integral part of most units.
You will have many opportunities for fieldwork, both shore-based and using the School's research launch. A two-week multidisciplinary residential field course is held for all oceanography students at the end of year two.
