In your first semester you'll study at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOCS), one of the world’s largest centres devoted to research and teaching in Earth and marine science and home to the University of Southampton’s School of Ocean and Earth Science.

The international nature of the master’s programme allows you to work alongside experts in the field who have varied perspectives, gain access to state-of-the-art facilities, and benefit from opportunities and learning environments in two distinctive global marine settings.

You'll have the opportunity to:

- Get hands-on training on board our research vessels as you explore the processes operating on marine ecosystems

- Build a highly competitive, cross-national skillset as you study in the UK and Hong Kong
