Meet our students

What does a marine science student do? Is it true that master's students in physical oceanography participate in international research expeditions? And is it really possible to do an internship at the Ministry of Environment? And how do you study shipwrecks? Here, our bachelor's and master's students tell us what they really do at their programmes.
