This degree program is available to students who have completed years 1 and 2 in the Bachelor Science (Marine Science) degree at the Ocean University of China. These students will complete years 3 and 4 requirements as described in the "Course Structure" section above.

This course does not have any course specific requirements.

What you will learn

1 Have a broad and coherent knowledge of the underlying principles and concepts of physical oceanography.

2 Have the cognitive skills to review, analyse, consolidate and synthesise their knowledge of physical oceanography.

3 Be able to communicate a clear and coherent exposition of knowledge and ideas relevant to physical oceanography.

4 Have gained experience of literature research methods and tools, data collection and analysis, and field and/or laboratory techniques relevant to physical oceanography.

5 Gained sufficient research and/or technical skills to allow them to complete a research study in physical oceanography.

6 Have the ability to plan and conduct a research project investigating a defined problem within the field of physical oceanography.

7 Be able to communicate research concepts and findings in a logical manner, in a variety of written and oral forms commonly used by professionals.

Career pathways

Physical Oceanography

Successful completion of this course will lead to career opportunities in marine and Antarctic science, especially in the focused discipline areas of physical oceanography and/or climate science. The research training provided in the course may lead to positions in government and state research laboratories involved in either the research or the management of the marine and/or Antarctic environments. The course provides training in research, to prepare candidates for further research study, in MSc and PhD programs, including the joint UTAS-CMAR QMS PhD program and the joint UTAS-AAD QAS PhD program for elite students.

Course structure

The course structure consists of majors in Physical Oceanography and Mathematics, and a minor in Physics. In Year 4, students will undertake one of two pathways, depending upon their GPA:

Group Project (for students passing all units in Year 3 and attaining a GPA <5.0)
Individual Project (for students passing all units in Year 3 and attaining a GPA of ≥5.0)
