Teaching and education

Lectures at Bremen University and at Bremerhaven University represent an important aspect of our work (see below for details). In addition, we continuously offer the supervision of PhD- and Master Theses in the field of Physical Oceanography of Polar Seas. The education of a new generation of scientists is also supported by teaching courses such as the Nippon Foundation POGO Centre of Excellence at AWI on the isle of Helgoland, as well as special summer schools or in the framework of the graduate schools POLMAR or GLOMAR. In order for students to gain insights into the practical work of oceanographers at sea, we teach students from the University of Bremen, AWI PhD students and Bachelor students of the Constructor University Bremen during campaigns aboard the research vessel Heinke in the North Sea.
