To achieve postgraduate education of academic excellence in the marine environment field, with solid conceptual foundations and innovative practical components on the basis of a translational science approach. For this purpose, students follow diverse disciplines with contents ranging from cellular and molecular biology to large-scale processes, or management; these are targeted to respond to societal demands identified in the UN DOSSD 2021-2030 and to support environmental protection policies.

To enhance EHEA internationalisation through (a) promoting its attractiveness for the best students worldwide, (b) providing EU students with opportunities to follow a part of the programme abroad, and (c) putting into practice joint procedures for monitoring progress in student mobility.

To improve the level of competences and skills of postgraduate students to study independently and manage a comprehensive project, by means of the research component of the programme; thus fostering leadership in marine environment research, consultancy and management.

To promote professionalism, entrepreneurship and employability of postgraduates, as well as the social projections of their careers in the field of the marine environment.
