World-class opportunities for postgraduate study
The Graduate School of the National Oceanography Centre Southampton (GSNOCS) offers a wide range of postgraduate opportunities at both masters and PhD level.
The Graduate School is administratively part of the University of Southampton, but works closely with the Natural Environment Research Council to offer first class research experiences for our students. There are almost around 200 research students within the Graduate School, with an annual intake of 40-45, and approximately 75 masters students, from all over the world and from all science disciplines.
The goal of the Graduate School is to provide the best possible education for graduate students in Ocean and Earth sciences, to give you the skills and knowledge to operate at the very cutting edge of research, to prepare you for future employment and to instil in you the motivation and ethos that breed successful careers. A good postgraduate education occurs through a number of complementary processes. The Graduate School strives to provide the best balance for its postgraduate students.
