Teaching takes place in Ísafjörður.

The program is internationally oriented and taught in English, and both students and instructors come from a diverse range of countries.

Programa

The master´s program in Coastal and Marine Management introduces students to various methods for managing marine and coastal areas, based on economic, social, and environmental considerations.

The program consists of core courses and elective courses, plus the thesis. Core subjects are taught mainly at the beginning of the program, as they form the basis for subsequent teaching.
