2.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Continue to Master of Oceanic Sciences (Honours) - Ocean Sciences

Program Description

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 University of Liverpool degree route takes a multidisciplinary approach to developing an understanding of the ocean and climate system. 

In Year Four Liverpool goes on to provide students 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. Students will have the opportunity to work with scientists from the National Oceanography Centre, Liverpool, who are international leaders in sea level science and shelf sea physics.
