The semester program “Tropical Biology and Marine Conservation” was developed together with the Faculty of Biology and Marine Science of the University of Udayana in Bali. The courses are held in English, partly by local professors and by national and international guest lecturers. International students are offered a practical semester in Bali, in which gained knowledge is being put into practice in numerous excursions and field studies.
The Udayana University works together with locally committed companies and community organizations in the field of tropical biology, marine and environmental protection as well as renewable and alternative energies.
These institutions are very interested in inviting international students from other countries for excursions and minor research. A brief overview of the study contents can be found at www.upskill.study .
“The upskill study abroad program is on a mission to build a community of well-rounded, creative marine science and biology students and scientist. We give students a deep knowledge of marine science & oceanography and all the skills they need to build a lasting, prosperous research career.
“Our goal is to make marine science students approachable for those who previously didn’t have hands-on-experience in their studies. Our well-designed courses are project-based and team-oriented to accelerate learning and help our students be ready to excel – confident, prepared, and empowered.”
