Focus on how physical oceanographic processes drive climate change, shape human use of the marine environment, and control the behaviour of organisms living both above and below the sea surface.
Develop your fundamental knowledge of the physical processes controlling the marine environment, and your practical skills in using the tools for observing and understanding them, including:
- the industry-standard instrumentation used to measure water properties and currents
- the ability to operate from vessels, improving your employability for marine-based careers
- research skills that will enable you to operate independently in the marine environment throughout your career
- developing a breadth of knowledge that can be applied to range of related disciplines including marine conservation, marine management, and resource assessment for the offshore sector.
