The opportunities are phenomenal. The mixture of theoretical and hands on learning is what I think makes this course so much fun and keeps it interesting.
The University of Southampton has an amazing Marine biology programme which has provided me with opportunities to do plenty of boat and field work. The hands on experience has given me insight into the life of a marine biologist and it's always a great way to learn!
Deciding to study oceanography at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton is probably one of the best decisions I have ever made! I attended one of the open days and the enthusiasm of the staff and the atmosphere of the place led me to apply for a course here.
As an MRes student I had a great opportunity to be part of a very high quality academic program and to work with leading professionals in the field of marine and submarine geology.
As an aspiring marine biologist, I view an advanced research degree as a valuable and continuing process in my professional development... The community of international students here has enhanced my academic experience in the same way as the Faculty staff. I can both make friends and build professional networks.
