The Joint Graduate School in Coastal and Marine Science, co-managed by NIWA and the University of Auckland, is equipping and energising young scientists from New Zealand and around the world for outstanding careers in oceanic research. Our vast and varied marine estate is the ultimate beneficiary.
The Joint Graduate School has been running since 2012 and each year between 15 and 20 Masters and PhD students are enrolled. Students are offered degrees in a range of coastal and marine topics including coastal processes, marine geology research, oceanography research, aquaculture research, fisheries research, and evolution, systematics, and ecology research.
Students can research a range of topics under each of these subjects. Find details and contacts for more information.
