Bachelor's in Ocean Studies

The Bachelor's Degree in Ocean Studies was created to respond to the challenges of humanity, whose answers we can find in the ocean, through an innovative interdisciplinary approach that creates a common language shared by an oceanic generation. This interdisciplinary degree arises from a partnership between the NOVA University of Lisbon (comprising 5 organic units – NOVA School of Law, NOVA IMS, Nova SBE, NOVA FCSH, and NOVA FCT), the University of Algarve, and the University of Évora, with the involvement of the Hydrographic Institute from the Portuguese Navy.

The education we provide focuses on the academic and personal development of our students, recognising the impact they will have as professionals, leaders and citizens.

International focus

We prepare students for a global environment through a curriculum taught in English and opportunities for international mobility, exchanges and internships.

Responsibility and engagement

We promote social responsibility and community engagement through personal development initiatives that complement the academic experience.

Personal and professional development

We invest in developing analytical, communication and teamwork skills, while providing the support students need to access internships and begin their professional careers.
