The Baltic Sea Centre does not run its own training courses, but our researchers often teach at university marine courses. Here we bring together everything you need to know about opportunities to study the sea, from the deepest seabed all the way up to the atmosphere (which both influences and is influenced by our oceans).

Stockholm University conducts research and education on our Swedish waters but also on tropical seas and polar zones. The University also offers historical, ethnological and archaeological courses on the sea within the subject of maritime studies.

There are several levels of education and you can study anything from a stand-alone course to undergraduate, postgraduate or doctoral programmes.

Application deadline is 17 October

Application for courses and programmes spring semester 2023 opens on 15 September in the second admission round. This application round is mainly for national or EU/EEA and swiss students. Students outside EU/EEA and Switzerland are advised to apply in the international admission rounds.

What is it like to study marine sciences at Stockholm University

Up until now I've always been more interested in what's on land, but now I feel my interest for the sea growing.
