Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Science with Honours (Specialisation)

The Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Science with Honours (Specialisation) is a four-year program with embedded Honours.Note:

this degree is part of a 2+2 agreement for international students.

Domestic students should look at the Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Studies (P3L).The initial specialisation to be offered is Physical Oceanography.

It will provide students with training in advanced physical oceanography and mathematics, as well as training in scientific research principles and techniques such that graduates have the capacity to conduct physical oceanography research appropriately and with a reasonable degree of autonomy.

The course structure consists of majors in Physical Oceanography and Mathematics, and a minor in Physics. In Year 4, students will undertake one of two pathways, depending upon their GPA:

1. Group Project (for students passing all units in Year 3 and attaining a GPA <5.0)
2. Individual Project (for students passing all units in Year 3 and attaining a GPA of ≥5.0)

Physical Oceanography

Within the context of the marine and Antarctic environments, graduates of the BMarAntSci (PhysOcean) (Hons) will:
