Introduction

The Institute of Oceanography (IfM) at Universität Hamburg offers an international master's program (MSc) in Physical Oceanography and Climate Physics (Flyer). This research-oriented four-semester program is directed to students with a B.Sc. degree in Physical Oceanography, Meteorology, Geophysics, Physics, or an equivalent subject and provides profound knowledge on the physics of the ocean and its role in the climate system. The program starts every year in October.

Overview

The Institute of Oceanography (IfM) at the Universität Hamburg offers an English master's degree (MSc) in Ocean and Climate Physics. This research-oriented four-semester program is directed to students with a B.Sc. degree in Physical Oceanography, Meteorology, Geophysics, Physics or an equivalent subject and provides profound knowledge on the physics of the ocean and its role in the climate system. Students will be educated and prepared for their future research careers in physical oceanography or other climate sciences. Furthermore, students are trained to autonomously implement and broaden scientific findings, methods and skills.

Every year only a limited number of students is admitted to the program. This ensures an excellent personal interaction between students and lecturers. Also students have free choice over the professor and researcher that are involved in guiding their final master's thesis which is done on a current and relevant topic in oceanography or climate sciences according to the students' preferences. This close interaction between researchers and students gives unique opportunities for students to get personal guidance and individual help and is unique in Germany.

The master's degree in Ocean and Climate Physics replaces the former German MSc Physikalische Ozeanographie since the winter term 2017/2018.

The IfM is located in the heart of Hamburg and is right next to a local park with supermarkets and restaurants along the streets. The institute is easily accessible via public transport (U-Bahn stop 'Schlump' and local busses).
