Study our BSc (Hons) Marine Science at the Scottish Association for Marine Science UHI (SAMS UHI) in Oban and explore the marine realm first hand. You will learn about marine science and technology from world-leading researchers and apply the latest technologies.

The programme provides students with a solid scientific foundation to understand the interactions within various oceanic ecosystems, emphasizing the importance of their conservation. Students will develop practical skills through subjects which will include activities at sea and in laboratories.

The main aim of the Physical Geography and Oceanography Bachelor’s degree programme in Physical Geography is to prepare highly qualified geophysical sciences specialists with a focus on phenomena and processes occurring in the oceans, seas, rivers, lakes and other water bodies and in the atmosphere. Also to provide students with an opportunity to acquire integrated competence in the field of geography. The graduates are excellent specialists who are able to work the intellectual and creative work, to create conditions to gain scientific research-based decisions and apply new technologies to achieve the best problem solutions. Students are provided with an advanced theoretical knowledge and practical skills; they gain the opportunity of becoming strategists of new technologies. Graduates will also acquire specific knowledge about the modern monitoring of the oceans and seas, marine economic development, international and national environment protection and sustainable development issues, essential components of the global maritime economy, and their geographical characteristics.

Oceanography is a broad, multidisciplinary science that attempts to unlock the mysteries of the oceans that cover 70% of our planet. Students in Florida Tech’s oceanography degree program study and apply biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology, physics, and math toward a better understanding of marine ecosystem dynamics, geophysical fluid dynamics, seafloor geology, and more.

If you want to create solutions to the problems arising from the interaction between man's technological and social activities with the natural environment, then the Earth Sciences major is right for you.

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) emphasizes Geological Oceanography, including a comprehensive background in geosciences and a solid introduction to geological oceanography at the world-renowned URI Graduate School of Oceanography (GSO). Highlights of this major include a senior research project to be carried out under a GSO faculty member's direction.
