MSc in Ocean Resources (MSOCEAN)
Sustainable development of marine living resources

The world’s oceans have huge living resources which will become more and more important for humans, and which we will depend on for our further welfare. In order to use, protect and further develop these resources in a sustainable way, there is a need for dedicated and well-educated young people with broad and interdisciplinary knowledge about the interactions between marine biological resources and their use, the marine environment, marine technology, economy, and public concerns related to the marine sector.
The Master of Science programme Ocean Resources at NTNU (MSOCEAN) is a two-year international, multidisciplinary MSc-programme aiming to give students a broad perspective beside their main in-depth specialization in marine science or marine engineering. NTNU has excellent research communities in marine science and technology, and students can meet and work with their future employers and develop contacts with other relevant partners during their studies. If you find it stimulating to take part and work with our further development of sustainable marine living resources, the MSc program Ocean
