Overview

Dive into the oceans and understand them on a deeper level than ever before! The Oceanography Diploma Course introduces you to the four major marine sciences. You’ll learn geological, physical, chemical, and biological concepts and how the relationships and interactions between them describe and explain the makeup of the world’s oceans.

Through studying the Oceanography Diploma Course, you’ll explore the origin, formation and continuing development of the Earth and its oceans, and gain an understanding of how this knowledge underpins other areas of oceanography.

We’ll examine the basic physical components of ocean interactions, how Newton’s Laws and acceleration forces collaborate in fluid motion dynamics and oceanic systems, how physical energy budgets describe the structure and circulation of the atmosphere and the types of currents and fluid transport mechanisms that are unique to the oceans.

The course covers the composition of the oceans - explaining how seawater density, salinity, and nutrient systems interact with thermodynamics and atmospheric composition. You’ll also learn about dissolved components of seawater and how they have changed over time.

We’ll also explore the biological processes and organisms of the oceans. You'll learn about biological indexes and how organisms are classified by size, demographic, and biological adaptations. You’ll also gain insight into fishery effects on ocean biota and the future of ocean habitats.

Description

The perfect introduction to the marine sciences, and the ideal complement to a Marine Biology Course, the Oceanography Diploma Course will benefit you if you are unfamiliar with the subject and would like to better understand the world’s oceans or if you are considering a career in this field and are looking for a starting point.

If you are considering a career in this area, this course can offer you information on the main aspects of marine science, an idea of the background knowledge used in an average day as a marine scientist and an exploration of some of the subject’s more complex concepts. You’ll learn about many areas of ocean science, which may influence the courses and materials you choose to explore next with either advanced study or recognised qualifications.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
