This one year MSc Oceanography masters degree is one of our longest running degree programmes at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton. It covers the whole breadth of marine science, and offers the opportunity for students to choose to focus on the physics, biology, geophysics or chemistry of the ocean and climate.
The MSc Oceanography masters programme is suited to graduates with a good science, mathematics or engineering degree, who wish to move into either the marine environmental commercial sector, or to develop further towards research careers in a specific discipline within oceanography or environmental science.
This programme is in two parts: formal instruction (including lectures, practicals and boatwork) followed by individual research.
In semester one all MSc Oceanography masters degree students complete a series of basic introductory modules that cover all the disciplines of oceanography. Boat-based practicals in local waters will introduce you to some of the measurement and analysis techniques in the marine sciences. As well as these compulsory modules, you will also study two optional modules.
Along with a choice of options in semester two of your oceanography masters programme, you will work on a literature review to provide a basis for your research project work. Following the end of semester two, all students work full-time on their chosen research project, producing a final dissertation by the end of September.
Our staff offer a wide range of project topics in their area of research, which could involve laboratory work, analysis of existing data sets, or fieldwork. You can also suggest your own ideas for research, after consulting with your tutor.
