INSPIRE, EMPOWER, COLLABORATE
The upskill study abroad program is on a mission to build a community of well-rounded, creative marine science and biology students and scientists. We give students a deep knowledge of marine science and tropical biology and all the skills they need to build a lasting, prosperous research career.
Our goal is to make marine science approachable for those students who previously didn’t have hands-on-experience in their studies. Our well designed courses are project-based and team-oriented to accelerate learning and help our students be ready to excel – confident, prepared, and empowered.
