I鈥檓 even encouraged to integrate academic perspectives I hadn鈥檛 considered!
As a student with an interdisciplinary background, I appreciate this Master鈥檚 for allowing me to continue combining my interests in chemistry, biology and physics. I鈥檓 even encouraged to integrate academic perspectives I hadn鈥檛 considered! This naturally complements the field of oceanic research, as virtually no oceanic process exists in a vacuum. Learning to approach topics like climate change in marine environments by combining different disciplinary perspectives helps me develop and train practical and communicative skills that will be useful wherever I choose to go.
Even as my study trajectory has occurred throughout the global pandemic, I鈥檝e had a hands-on introduction to the topics covered so far. Students often encounter researchers from NIOZ, ex-students having chosen non-academic paths, and leading academics who teach their courses using methods used in the field.
