The interdisciplinary Master School of Marine Sciences (iMSMS) is a cross-faculty and cross-institutional platform for Master students of all disciplines. It promotes ocean literacy and an interdisciplinary approach to marine science education and collaboration at the Master student level. 

The information and offers of the following sites address:

• Students of the marine science master's degree programs at CAU and associated institutes, who in addition to their disciplinary training would like to acquire interdisciplinary knowldege and skills on marine topics; who are interested in current approaches to (marine) sustainability research, international mobility options during their marine studies or in networking activities in support of their career orientation and development.
• Master students from all disciplines and study programs, who are interested in the ocean and complex research topics on the development of a sustainable human-ocean-interaction from the perspectives of the natural sciences, law, economics, social sciences, informatics and philosophy. 

This is what the iMSMS organizes and offers at a glance. 

About the iMSMS

The interdisciplinary Master School of Marine Sciences (iMSMS) is a model concept for cross-faculty and cross-institutional collaboration in research-based marine science education. In cooperation with all faculties of Kiel University, with associated institutes such as GEOMAR Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel, the Research and Technology Center West Coast (FTZ Büsum), the Kiel Marine Science priority research area (KMS), and the Future Ocean Network the iMSMS pools and provides access to a wide range of marine-focused educational and networking offers. Both students with a marine science background and students from all other disciplines can join and learn about fundamental and current marine research topics from the perspective of the natural and social sciences, law, ethics, informatics, theology, and economics.

The key objective of the iMSMS is to advance marine scientific learning and collaboration beyond disciplinary boundaries, to promote ocean literacy and to create awareness about inter- and transdisciplinary approaches to a sustainable ocean development, to foster student mobility and to support career orientation in the marine sciences. 

Central bodies for the management and development of the iMSMS are the directory, the advisory board and the project coordination. The directory is formed by the Faculties' Deans of Study or their representative, one representative of the steering committee of the priority research area KMS, and two student representatives. The advisory board includes the coordinators of the marine science study programs, teaching scientists engaged in the iMSMS, one representative of the Center for Ocean and Society (CEOS) at CAU and one representative of the Ocean Education & Careers network.
