Studying Marine Science is a hands-on experience. As well as attending lectures and tutorials, you’ll have practical labs and field trips at sea. Alongside our research and teaching facilities in Dunedin, we have a major research laboratory on the Otago Peninsula and field stations on Stewart Island and in Doubtful Sound. A fleet of research vessels, including the expedition vessel  RV Polaris II, provides access to local marine habitats.




The ocean is the epicentre of Earth’s physical and biological processes, influencing our climate and sustaining life. The University of Otago is in the perfect place to investigate these interconnected processes and their impacts on our world. And when your workspace extends to the seashore and beyond, every day presents fresh challenges.
