MSc Advanced Oceanography for Professionals

This Master’s degree programme consists solely of a 12-month research project. With several years as a senior oceanographer you will already have the skills, knowledge and expertise to undertake this stand-alone independent, workplace based project.

You will be encouraged to discover your own research subject for investigation; whether that’s researching new technologies, reviewing the science behind the day-to-day oceanography strategies or the impact of climate change on the ocean and whether the role of an oceanographer might evolve. Whatever you decide, we recommend your project be aligned with your aspirations in your current or chosen field of work.

During the 12 months you will plan, execute and report on your chosen project. Following successful completion you will graduate and be awarded the MSc Advanced Oceanography for Professionals by the University of Plymouth.
