Course summary
If you aspire to work in organisations such as the European Union or the United Nations, then a second language is often a fundamental requirement. This four year integrated masters explores the broad study of the oceans whilst developing a good working knowledge of French.Studying under the supervision of world-leading research staff, you will gain a full understanding of a variety of marine processes from waves, tides and ocean currents, to sediment transport, fisheries and marine ecosystems. You will continue to improve your French, particularly specialist science language and communication skills, making yourself highly employable with a range of transferable skills. Three of your four-year degree will be spent at our unique Waterfront Campus at the world-leading National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOCS), with one-year being taught in French at the University of Bordeaux, which will enhance your language skills. Your year in Bordeaux will also give you a choice of units, some of which are not available in Southampton, allowing you to discover a wide range of topics.All of our Oceanography courses are accredited by the Institute of Marine Engineering Science and Technology. Oceanography is ranked 4th in the world for academic rankings of world universities. *Shanghai Ranking's Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2020
