Students

OGEN can help students embark on a Masters and/or PhD in ocean research through partner universities’ degree programs (Dalhousie University, Memorial University of Newfoundland, University of Prince Edward Island, University of New Brunswick, University of British Columbia, University of Victoria, and Université du Québec à Rimouski).

OGEN also provides access to transformational experiences and connections preparing students for 21st century careers. These include summer schools, workshops, entrepreneurship training, internships with industry and more. Logging these as microcredentials will help you to unlock novel career opportunities.

Students will network with like-minded thinkers in Canada and internationally.

Researchers

OGEN supports collaborative training for a new generation of ocean researchers in the natural, social, and applied sciences, with strength across multiple disciplines. By creating a rich training environment and value-added experiences it raises the standard for best practices in research training and development of professional skills of new researchers.
