The most unique feature of earth in the 21st century is the marine environment. It is required to understand the phenomena of marine environment, focusing on the global ecosystem, the scientific and technological development for space uses of marine environment, the development of marine energy, the exploration of marine resources, and the management and conservation of the marine ecosystem. More recently, it is growing in importance for sustainable ecosystem development of earth in the uses and management of marine environment. This program provides the understanding and scientific and technological applications for marine environments. The study of marine phenomena is connected into four broad categories: biology, chemistry, physics, and geology, leading to a study of the uses and management of the true marine environment. The program's main purpose is to educate essential experts developing various and plentiful marine resources. In addition, faculty members and students are involved actively in advance study and exploration with foreign universities and institutes. Students have opportunities for study exchange, research, and study abroad.
