Education on board
There are great opportunities for students at the University of Gothenburg to go out to sea and carry out fieldwork on board the R/V Skagerak. Both programmes and courses related to the sea and the marine environment have components on board the state-of-the-art research vessel. This gives you a unique opportunity to combine practice and theory, while getting a feel for what marine research is all about - in depth.
How about lectures on board a modern research vessel?
Education is an important part of R/V Skagerak, and several marine-related courses at the University of Gothenburg include opportunities on board the ship.
A day out at sea doing fieldwork together with marine researchers can be an unforgettable experience and give you a new perspective on the complex marine environment and the challenges facing the sea.
Education on board R/V Skagerak
Fieldwork aboard R/V Skagerak is included in both the Bachelor's and Master's programmes in Marine Science.
If you are on the undergraduate programme, several courses have components on board R/V Skagerak. These are 'The History of the Blue Planet' (three days), 'The Open Water - Sampling Methodology' (half a day) and 'The Open Water II: Interactions between Air, Water and Sediment' (one day). The MSc programme and several stand-alone courses also include field studies aboard the R/V Skagerak. See below for details.
