The oceans hold vital resources for food, energy, climate regulation, and future jobs. Managing them in a sustainable way requires people with strong, interdisciplinary knowledge.

The MSc in Ocean Resources at NTNU gives you a broad and practical understanding of marine ecosystems, aquaculture, fisheries, and marine technology. The program connects biology, technology, environment, and ecology. You learn how these topics interact, and how science and innovation can support a sustainable ocean economy.

You will gain advanced knowledge in marine science and technology. You will learn to plan and carry out scientific projects, analyze data, and solve complex problems. You will also train in teamwork, communication, and critical thinking.

After graduation, you can work in research, aquaculture, fisheries, environmental monitoring, marine technology, consultancy, public administration, education — or continue to a PhD.

You will be ready to contribute to the sustainable use and protection of ocean resources.
