Overview
Postgraduate students are a vital component of the life and activities at the SAMS. Currently we offer two options for Masters level study, and host approximately 25 PhD students. Staff furthermore act as (co-)supervisors for research students (both MSc and PhD) registered at other universities. While most of our research students study full-time, we also host a number of part-time students who are sometimes sponsored by their employers to conduct their research degrees.

Testimonials
-
"One of the things that attracted me to SAMS is that various disciplines of marine science are under one roof. Whilst I still have the support and encouragement of a very strong marine physics group and fellow oceanography students, I share an office with, and interact with ecologists, microbiologists, marine geologists, policy experts and chemists."
Clare Johnson, PhD student in physical oceanography 2011
