Through investigation of an array of real-world problems you explore past, present and future relationships between society and the oceans in the real-world scenario of an interdisciplinary team.
Field trips and lectures introduce you to the complex interactions between ocean ecology, seafaring, resource exploration and ocean governance, while also demonstrating different approaches to knowledge and how different disciplines work.
Supervised workshops provide a diverse set of learning experiences with feedback from teaching staff and your peers.
Choice of the form of presentation of your project work gives you an opportunity to play to your strengths and develop transferrable skills.
