The Master's Degree in Oceanography proposed by the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the Universidade de Vigo and the University of Cadiz analyses in an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary way the processes that take place in the oceans, including shallow seas, continental margins and deep ocean, as well as the resulting structures. The oceans are considered to be complex systems in whose general dynamics physical, chemical, biological and geological factors are involved, with special emphasis on the interaction and feedback mechanisms that take place between them.

It is precisely this global vision that makes the master's degree particularly attractive for students who wish to complete their training in oceanography. The Master's Degree in Oceanography is offered with a research orientation, and is especially designed for students who wish to access positions of responsibility in institutions and companies related to Oceanography, or to continue with doctoral studies in the field of Marine Sciences.
