Ocean Resources Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)

Overview

The world’s oceans have enormous living resources which will become more and more important for human’s future welfare. In order to use, protect, and further sustainably develop these resources, there is a need for dedicated and well-educated young people with broad and interdisciplinary knowledge about marine biological resources, marine environment, and marine technologies. All of which enable sustainable use of resources and societal aspects in the marine sector.

This is what you’ll learn:

• Become familiar with research being conducted in marine biology, aquaculture, fisheries and food science, and the related research in marine technology.
• Understand the biological or technological theories and methods that are relevant for a master project that extends over one or two semesters.
• Become familiar with the complex interactions in the marine environment and the interdisciplinary needed in marine and food science.
• Become able to discuss and see biological issues and challenges from a societal perspective.

• Understand and become able to explain the research and analytical methods within a specialization.

What can you become? 

A Master of Science in Ocean Resources at Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) will give you a solid basis for further careers, both nationally and internationally. The multidisciplinary background this programme offers has been at the request of both the fisheries, aquaculture industry and other marine companies in the seafood cluster. As well as other marine sectors, and administrative authorities involved in the management of the marine environment and resources.
