该计划在欧洲及其他地区是独一无二的。它采用一种整体的，跨学科的方法来理解人类的作用及其与海洋生态系统的关系，以求生存和繁荣。本硕士通过关注海洋系统的三个领域将海洋系统视为一个综合的社会生态系统：海洋自然系统– “探索关键海洋生物群落，栖息地和物种的各种规模和功能，跨越岛屿，海岸，河口，大陆架，极地海洋和全球海洋。海洋政策体系–通过正式的政策，法律和非正式的习俗和惯例，研究海洋空间规划以及海洋生态系统和服务治理的不同方法。海洋建筑系统–探索“蓝色增长”的机会，例如人类建筑环境在海洋环境中的独创性和影响，从重
Rapid climate change and the global expansion of human activities threaten the world’s oceans. How do we realistically balance development with ocean conservation in a rapidly changing climate And how do we do this in ways that are also equitable and fair to society Our MSc programme places you right at the forefront of the fast-paced interface between marine science and policy that deals with these sustainability challenges. As a student, the programme centres a lot with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water but our programme’s interdisciplinarity will help you find links to all SDGs. This broad programme is built around the science and policies spanning tropical to polar ecosystems, from wetlands and estuaries to the deep-sea including the abyss. You can learn how to apply marine science and knowledge to critically evaluate and enrich policies and influence how new policies can be created through science communication. You will get to learn from real-world practitioners and people with lived experiences through global case studies as well as domestic and overseas field trips. These experiences will be under the guidance of a research-active team of highly supportive and motivated university scientists with decades of experience at the science-policy interface from grassroots to international levels. The capstone of your programme is an independent marine research dissertation project. It will be designed by you and a supervisor or host on a topic of your choice. You can either conduct an internship or a placement for your dissertation, in either a desk-based, lab-based, or field-based setting. By the end of your programme, you will be highly equipped with a portfolio of skills employers are looking for and that will support a future academic PhD career, including: policy analysis applied marine scientific survey and social science skills science communication Is this MSc for me Rising up to the challenge of sustainable ocean development requires interdisciplinary solutions. Interested in doing an MSc that truly respects and integrates interdisciplinarity into your degree program Ours is for you. From the outset, you will learn how marine ecosystems are structured and how they function from research-active marine ecologists and oceanographers. You will also learn from local people, social scientists, governments, industry, and experts in marine law how these ecosystems are used, valued, and managed.
