MSc program 'LIMNOLOGY & OCEANOGRAPHY'

Water covers 70% of the Earth's surface, and sets our planet apart from all other planets known to mankind. These vast amounts of water play an important role in the global climate, and are a source of food, minerals, energy, and recreation. Aquatic ecosystems are teeming with organisms, ranging from the tiny phytoplankton and zooplankton to corals, fish, and whales. Unfortunately, aquatic ecosystems are also the dumping places for many of society's wastes and are profoundly affected by global change. To better understand and protect the worlds' aquatic resources, a partnership of the University of Amsterdam and the University of Wageningen offers a new MSc program in Limnology and Oceanography, devoted to the biology, chemistry, and physics of aquatic ecosystems. This multidisciplinary MSc program is an advanced study, which focuses on freshwater ecosystems (limnology) as well as marine ecosystems (oceanography).

RESEARCH SUBJECTS (stages)
