Learning objectives

This bachelor's degree is designed to build the scientific and technical professional skills needed to carry out research and provide advice on environmental and climate topics and on the impact of economic and social activities on the marine environment and coasts (ethical, responsible and sustainable use of marine resources, characterisation of coasts, climate change and its impact on the marine environment and coasts, etc.). It is also designed for the education of other scientists and specialists and of society in general on activities related to basic and applied marine sciences and technologies, their development and their dissemination.

You can choose one of two majors:

• Marine Sciences and Engineering
  

  You will receive multidisciplinary training that will enable you to deal with the main problems and challenges faced by coasts in the near future in a range of development and climate change scenarios.

• Marine Technologies
  

  This major focuses on applied technologies for observation, remote sensing and exploration using marine robots, which are essential for monitoring coastal bodies of water and obtaining the data needed to control human activities in the marine environment involving the exploitation of marine and coastal resources.
