Undergraduate Studies
There are a number of UNSW study programs majoring in oceanography and climate science available through either the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences (BEES) or the School of Mathematics & Statistics. These courses include study of subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Fluid Dynamics, Atmosphere-Ocean Dynamics and Physical Oceanography.
Bachelor of Advanced Science (Climate Major)- Program 3972
This four year program is designed for students with a strong science background who are interested in an in depth study of the earth's climate system. Students learn about the ocean, land and atmospheric processes which drive the planet's climate and how human action affects these processes, leading to changes in local and global climates.

Bachelor of Science - Program 3970
Majors in Mathematics, Statistics and Physical Oceanography/Meteorology.
Bachelor of Environmental Science - Program 3988
The Environmental Science program contains a core sequence of compulsory courses and a choice of disciplinary specialisations eg. oceanography.
For more information on these courses go to the UNSW Faculty of Science degrees page.
Entry into Climate Science Honours projects is achieved by enrolling in CLIM4000 through the School of Mathematics & Statistics or the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. If your program does not allow enrolment in CLIM4000, you can discuss arrangements for having your project supervised by a member of CCRC.
Find out more about honours projects currently being undertaken at the CCRC research topics web page.
Scholarships
The University of New South Wales offers many scholarships for undergraduate, postgraduate, local and international students. Scholarships are available to students studying in all Faculties. For information on undergraduate scholarships (including honours) go to UNSW Scholarships web site.
