Students of all abilities are welcome; there are no swimming requirements to participate in this program. Courses are held at the University of Waikato’s newest campus, Tauranga on the North Island. Coursework will focus on the newly established marine protected area in the Bay of Plenty and includes field trips, laboratory work, and seminars by expert researchers. Immerse yourself in a relaxed beach style environment and study at a coastal marine station on the leading edge of environmental discovery and monitoring, as well as coastal and marine research.
