Master of Marine and Antarctic Science with Specialisation in Governance and Policy

Program Overview

As a gateway to Antarctica and with a natural marine laboratory on your doorstep, the University of Tasmania provides an ideal base to study for a career in marine biology, fisheries, and aquaculture industries.

This is the only master's degree in the world that uniquely combines marine science with a focus on the Southern Ocean and Antarctica. You’ll have access to industry-leading facilities at the Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies (IMAS) and internationally recognised experts to help you kick-start your career.

The Master of Marine and Antarctic Science provides:

Practical skills alongside theoretical studies to broaden your experience and give you an edge in employment.
More than lectures, labs, and tutorials, with study trip units that extend learning to the Southern Ocean and into Australia's largest fisheries, aquaculture, and seafood industries.
Contacts, work experience, and research links in Australia's largest fisheries and aquaculture industries (based in Tasmania), as well as ocean governance organisations.
Access to our international partner organisations and internationally recognised marine science and ocean governance institutions based in Tasmania.
A one-year project, either an individual research-based thesis or a group industry-relevant project.

Specialisation: Governance and Policy
The Governance and Policy specialisation is comprised of four core units. The units in this specialisation explain the key environmental problems affecting the world’s oceans, atmosphere and Antarctica. These units employ leading theories of environmental governance to assist in designing effective management responses to these problems.
