BSc Oceanography

Nothing on this planet connects local, national and global issues as much as the ocean. Oceanography at Otago includes study in marine physics, chemistry and geology. It develops from large-scale global systems such as ocean circulation in first year to topical local issues such as dredging Otago Harbour in third year. The students develop a keen appreciation for the wonders and importance of the sea, alongside a strong commitment to mathematical modelling and complex problem-solving. Graduates with our Oceanography degree got on to study and work in oceanography in New Zealand and abroad.
