Our programmes

We have three Master's Programmes open to international students and one Bachelor's Programme for Swedish speaking students. We offer a dynamic and interdisciplinary setting, with students, teachers and researchers from all over the world. Our teaching is student-centred and done by active researchers. Problem-based field work plays an important part in our teaching.

Bachelor's Programme in Marine Science

The Bachelor's Programme in Marine Science is open only for Swedish speaking students. It has a unique marine interdisciplinary start with two years of joint courses on, for example, marine organisms, coastal ecosystems, and sustainable management of the marine environment. During the third year, you specialize in one of the marine subjects biology, chemistry, geology, or oceanography.
