BACHELOR OF MARINE AND ANTARCTIC SCIENCE (MIT AUSZEICHNUNG)

Our Bachelor of Marine and Antarctic Science with an Honours degree has been developed to provide students with advanced knowledge and scientific training in a specialised area of marine or Antarctic science.

Students will be trained in research methodology as preparation for employment in a research organisation or for postgraduate study in Masters or PhD programs; and equip them with knowledge, skills, competencies and awareness in preparation for employment in many industries.

The degree is fully equivalent to an honours degree with any other University School and satisfies the usual eligibility requirements for research higher degrees and postgraduate scholarships.

The Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) is a world-class centre of excellence for research and education at the University of Tasmania.

Our research is innovative, relevant, and globally distinctive. Our education delivers first-class programs resulting in highly trained scientists and researchers serving the needs of academic institutions, industry, government and the community.

IMAS has three core research programs in Fisheries and Aquaculture, Ecology and Biodiversity, and Oceans and Cryosphere. These are linked by the cross-disciplinary themes of Climate change, Ocean-Earth systems and Oceans and Antarctic governance.
