Global changes ask for a comprehensive scientific approach, and an international multidisciplinary orientation and require a new mindset toward the water and coastal management problems. In response to these challenges and to provide an inspiring atmosphere for the development of an academic and professional career, we designed our unique Double Degree Master (DDM) program 'Water and Coastal Management', merging the strongest expertise of the two partner universities, the University of Groningen (the Netherlands) and Carl-von-Ossietzky-University Oldenburg (Germany).

In a world that is finally beginning to understand the importance of the Ocean in our lives, it is essential that scientific and socio-economic stakeholders learn to work together. The MSc MARRES was designed in response to the recent evolution of the job market due to the emergence of Blue Growth worldwide. Our interdisciplinary and international master's programs equip students with knowledge, skills, and network to enter research, conservation, consultancy firms, and develop their own innovation opportunities.

The 2-year master programme in “Master of Science in Marine and Lacustrine Science and Management” (Oceans & Lakes) addresses students with a background in Sciences. Oceans & Lakes is an inter-university programme organized by the Faculty of Sciences of Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB, Free University of Brussels), Universiteit Antwerpen (UAntwerpen, Antwerp University) and Universiteit Gent (UGent, Ghent University). The students are provided with strong fundamental and applied knowledge and prepared for an active role in the scientific research and management of marine and lacustrine systems.

This Master’s degree programme consists solely of a 12-month research project. With several years as a senior hydrographer, you will already have the skills, knowledge and expertise to undertake this stand-alone independent, workplace-based project.
