可选国外年份。海洋通过调节全球热量和碳的传递，在地球的气候系统中发挥着核心作用。只有解决我们环境中运行的基本物理和化学过程，才能充分理解海洋的影响。该学位课程提供了海洋学，物理或化学的三种不同途径，并结合了对海洋和气候系统的理解。四年制硕士课程F710，将为您提供在研究环境中工作并应对海洋科学挑战所需的高级技能和知识。高度重视数字技能，动手实验室，海上实地考察和独立学习。
The ocean plays a central role in the Earth's climate system by regulating the transfer of heat and carbon over the globe. The effect of the ocean on Earth's climate and on life can only be fully understood by addressing the fundamental biological, physical and chemical processes operating in the environment. This degree route takes a multidisciplinary approach to developing an understanding of the ocean and climate system.<br><br>We have strong links with scientists from the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool, who provide guest lectures and supervision of projects.<br><br>The four-year master's programme, (F710), is based on the same multidisciplinary approach as the three-year (F700) programme. In year four we go on to provide you with higher-level skills and knowledge required to work in a research or commercial environment and address the biggest challenges in ocean science. There is a strong emphasis on numerical skills, hands-on laboratory and fieldwork, and independent study.<br><br>The first three years follow BSc (Hons) degree programmes offered in ocean sciences, developing a strong, multidisciplinary foundation of knowledge and skills. Semester one of year four is focused on broadening your knowledge of ocean research, strengthening data analysis skills, writing and reviewing research ideas, and discussing current research issues in ocean science.<br><br>The training in semester one will provide you with the skills to conduct a major independent research project in semester two, which will be supervised by ocean scientists from the University and/or the National Oceanography Centre in Liverpool. This high-level training will prepare you with the critical thinking, communication and writing skills you will need to work in a research environment, as well as an awareness of the future challenges in ocean sciences. The degree in Ocean Sciences at Liverpool is accredited by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology.<br><br>A number of the School's degree programmes involve laboratory and field work. Fieldwork is carried out in various locations, ranging from inner city to coastal and mountainous environments. We consider applications from prospective disabled students on the same basis as all other students, and reasonable adjustments will be considered to address barriers to access.
