In 2026, the UCT Master in Applied Ocean Sciences (AOS) program will serve as the pilot project for the South African Master in Ocean Sciences (SAMOS), a project funded by the EU ERASMUS+ Capacity Building in Higher Education programme. The coursework structure will expand on the established AOS course, with the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of the universities and experts, drawn from across the South African marine landscape who are participating in SAMOS. 

Applicants will register at and receive the degree from UCT, with most of the coursework component (approx 6 months) taking place at the Ocean Campus of the Nelson Mandela University, Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Eastern Cape.  This exciting opportunity will allow for you to benefit from the wide range of ocean-expertise we have at the South African partner universities.

A webinar, introducing the program and providing you with an opportunity to ask questions will take place on 2 July @ 11am. Any questions can be directed to [email protected]
