Nordic Master's Program in Marine Ecosystems and Climate

This joint Nordic master's program offers degrees in Physical or Biological Oceanography and focuses on the study of marine ecosystems and their response to climate change. The program is coordinated by the Geophysical Institute at the University of Bergen and is funded by the Norwegian Research Council. The program also includes partner universities in Iceland, the Faroe Islands, and Denmark. For more information, visit the program websites provided.
