The Master of Marine Conservation at the University of Auckland focuses on finding solutions to complex issues that characterise the management and conservation of the marine environment.
The number and size of marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasing in response to intensifying pressures on oceans and the need to provide more robust guardianship of marine ecosystems.
Protected by law, MPAs requires skilled scientists and environmental managers from diverse backgrounds to advocate for, design, monitor and protect them.
If you are already working in this exciting field, or you want to make an impact in the marine conservation world, the MMarineCons will give you the opportunity to upskill, improve your knowledge, and gain research experience.
The programme also provides learning and hands-on experience in policy and strategic management and will benefit graduates from other disciplines wanting to work in this field.
This programme is primarily taught at the city campus, with some classes and courses taught at the Leigh Marine Laboratory.
The MMarineCons is a 180-point research or taught master's programme that can be completed over three semesters full-time, with part-time options available.
This programme includes a mixture of core courses and elective courses on topics related to marine conservation, such as marine ecology and biology, conservation biology, environmental science, social science, environmental management and policy.
