    Master of Marine Science and Management

    About

    Go beyond traditional courses to examine new approaches to marine science. The Master of Marine Science and Management is multidisciplinary and cross-institutional, giving you access to a comprehensive set of approaches and methods unique to the field.

    Your study will explore information systems and remotely sensed data analysis. It also covers the impact and use of marine science on legislation and management in marine and coastal zones. You’ll learn about coastal management and engineering, climate change, marine ecology and conservation, physical oceanography and modelling.

    Learn with the best
    UNSW Science is at the forefront of many new scientific developments, teaching and innovation. We’re responsive to the needs of industry, adaptive to change and take an innovative approach to teaching and learning. This program is taught by the UNSW School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES). BEES is one of the largest schools at UNSW, which has a national and international reputation for quality education and research.

    • We’re of the top 50 universities in the world for Environmental Sciences (#33) and Earth & Marine Sciences (#30).*
    • We’re ranked 2nd in Australia for research output in Earth & Environmental Sciences.**

    Build connections across multiple institutions
    Founded in 2005, the Sydney Institute of Marine Science (SIMS) is a world-leading marine science institute and the principal marine research facility in New South Wales. This degree is jointly offered by UNSW and three SIMS universities: The University of Sydney, Macquarie University and the University of Technology, Sydney. You’ll receive exposure to leading research across a number of institutions and build valuable career networks.

    Learn in a dedicated facility
    The core courses in this program are taught at the SIMS facility at Chowder Bay. This location is ideal for marine research with high quality seawater available to service the SIMS research aquarium. It also sits on a coastline that is bathed by the East Australian Current, making Sydney and the coast of New South Wales a global hotspot for ocean warming. SIMS’ unique location makes it the ideal place from which to address the combined impacts of urbanisation and climate change, two of the central challenges facing coastal sustainability today.

    Requirements

    Entry Requirements

    For entry into this degree, you must have one of the following:

    • Bachelor of Science degree (in any science discipline) with a weighted average mark (WAM) of 65 or greater
    • Bachelor of Science Honours degree in any science discipline
    • Bachelor of Science degree with a WAM of 50-65 plus at least 5 years’ professional experience in a relevant field to marine or environmental science

    • any degree with an appropriate science major with numerical or data handing skills plus at least five years’ professional experience in a relevant field to marine or environmental science. You are expected to have completed undergraduate level statistical analysis before commencing this program. Students who do not have this knowledge will be required to enrol into BEES5041 Data Analysis for Environmental Science and Management as one of their directed electives.


    Applicants with other relevant qualifications and experience not listed above may apply for admission to this program. You will need to demonstrate that you have achieved the same knowledge and skills through your formal or informal learning as the qualifications listed for entry into this program.

    Advanced standing
    If you have an honours degree (AQF Level 8) in science, you may be eligible for up to 24 units of credit of advanced standing, depending on your numerical literacy and background in marine science. This means that you’ll take a further 48 units of credit to complete the program. Advanced standing will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the program coordinator.
