MSc in Biological Oceanography

Marine animals, marine plants and humans have one thing in common: They use the ocean either as a habitat or as a valuable resource. Nevertheless, the ocean is the largest and largely unknown habitat on earth, which still contains many new discoveries and is of great importance for the function of the entire earth system. It is also becoming increasingly interesting as a resource for many different services and products, for which appropriate technologies have to be developed. The increasing human use of the oceans leads directly and indirectly to serious changes in the marine environment, with far-reaching consequences for the entire ecosystem and for society.
