该国际海洋科学课程为具有海洋生物学，地质学或地理学背景的学生提供了将其专业知识整合到更广泛的海洋科学环境中的机会。海洋不是孤立存在的，而是与大气层和不断变化的地质学不断相互作用的，它们从阳光中吸收能量，而从地热源中吸收能量的程度较小。海洋科学的高度交叉学科领域，从深海到浅海的海洋研究，旨在了解这一动态系统的生物学，化学，地质和物理学，这些动态系统对我们的整个生命至关重要。该课程包括海洋学和GIS两门核心课程，并提供了最大程度的灵活性，使学生可以在我们的奥克尼校区或爱丁堡继续学习。此外，该课程通过“远程学习
This International Marine Science course offers students with a background in marine biology, geology or geography the opportunity to integrate their expertise in the wider marine science context.<br><br>The highly interdisciplinary field of Marine Science aims to understand the biology, chemistry, geology and physics of this dynamic system so central to all our lives. It also considers the overarching influence of climate change and how policy can be brought to bear on managing the resources of the ocean as part of the Blue Economy.<br><br>The course has three mandatory courses in Oceanography, Applied Research Design and Analysis, and GIS for Marine and Environmental Scientists, and offers a wide variety of options with maximum flexibility, allowing students to pursue their studies according to their academic interests.
