COURSE VIDEO Our students share their stories about the opportunities that postgraduate study opened up for them. 1:21 In a Master of Marine Science and Management, you will be taught by world-leading experts in some of the best coastal locations in the country. In-depth study in marine science and management subjects, plus lots of hands-on experience in incredible aquatic field sites, will give you the skills, knowledge and confidence to work in the multidisciplinary field of marine science.
This one-and-a-half-year degree offers a unique opportunity to learn about the science and management of marine environments. Highly regarded in the professional field, it’s the perfect option for graduates who want to get a job in marine science or who want to extend their expertise by specialising in theoretical and practical skills.
Developed in collaboration with the Sydney Institute of Marine Science and its partner universities, the degree’s rich array of subjects include the science and management of coasts, marine ecology and conservation, coral reefs, climate change, oceanography (physical, geological and biological) and engineering (coastal and marine). While you will undertake core units at the University of Sydney, you can take elective units at one of our partner universities.
The extensive coastline, harbour and unique marine ecology around the University of Sydney make it an outstanding location to undertake a Master of Marine Science and Management. As a student of this degree, you will have access to premier locations, like the Sydney Institute of Marine Science—a recently refurbished heritage building overlooking Sydney Harbour with state-of-the-art laboratories and facilities. Further afield, we have a tropical research station in the Great Barrier Reef, where several classes are taught.
The coastal expertise at the University of Sydney is one of the best in Australia. We have international leaders in areas...

Study plan
To qualify for the Master of Marine Science and Management coursework pathway you must complete 72 credit points of study across at least three of the four areas of knowledge including:
a) 24 credit points of core units of study;
b) 36 credit points of elective units taken at the University of Sydney; and
c) 12 credit points of elective units of study which may be taken from the other partner universities under the equivalent program (University of NSW, University of Technology Sydney, Macquarie University) via Cross Institutional Study.
The four areas of knowledge are: BIO: Marine biology / Biological oceanography, GEO: Marine geosciences / Coastal engineering, PHY: Physical oceanography / Marine engineering, and ENV: Environmental management / Sustainability.
Research pathwayIf you are maintaining a distinction average you may apply to complete the research pathway of the program. This involves completion of an individualised research project under the direct supervision of an academic member of staff. If you complete this research project in the Master of Marine Science and Management, you will be eligible to apply for enrolment in a research program such as an MSc or PhD.
