Postgraduate
An important dimension of the growth of SIMS is the development of an extensive and interdisciplinary research capacity.
We aspire to offer the very best facilities and support to attract the brightest and most innovative researchers. A key component of this are the post graduate opportunities offered in the form of the SIMS Masters Program in Marine Science and Management and the SIMS Foundation Doctoral Fellowships.
