University of Western Australia
Master of Oceanography
In this course, you will develop advanced knowledge of the physical, chemical, geological and biological interactions applied to coastal and ocean systems as well as important practical and problem-solving skills. Graduates with advanced knowledge of ocean processes are needed to manage coastal and marine resources, respond to the impacts of climate change, and drive the sustainable use of the ocean. Western Australia’s location on the Indian Ocean rim, and unique mix of coastal and ocean environments, create an excellent living laboratory for studying oceanography at a world-class university.
