Biogeochemistry and climate change,
Marine ecology and biodiversity,
Exploitation of marine resources, anthropic pressures,
Modelling and operational oceanography,
Data collection and processing.

Public concerned : Students

Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)

Admission requirements : Bachelor 3

Acquired skills during the training : learning outcomes
At the end of his training, the graduate of the master's degree in Oceanography will have acquired the following specific disciplinary skills:
- Plan and carry out scientific research in the marine environment, including the use of bibliographical resources, the experimental approach, the statistical analysis, the interpretation and discussion of the results in an environmental context, in particular through knowledge and analysis of the orders of magnitude;
- Master the concepts and vocabulary of all oceanographic disciplines and be able to share them in different contexts (teaching, research, conference, international projects);
- Analyze the biotic and abiotic components of a marine environment, using the in-depth knowledge of oceanography and specialist knowledge acquired during the completion of the end-of-studies work;
- Handle sensors and measuring devices, and prepare and analyze samples used in oceanography.

At the end of his training, the graduate of the master's degree in Oceanography will also be able to:
- Understand the functioning of a system through observation, acquisition, data analysis and modelling;
- Being able to design and use a mathematical model.

Like all university graduates, the young oceanographer will also be able to:
- Autonomously manage learning with self-assessment and reflexivity;
- Have a working method allowing the acquisition of new knowledge and adaptation to new situations;
- Acquire skills of synthesis, oral and written scientific communication;
- Critically analyze scientific data and literature;
- Knowing how to separate the essential from the accessory in a scientific problem;
- Work in a team, define and develop your professional identity.
