SHORT DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME
The regional Master’s program in Oceanography and Applications situated in Benin, West Africa is a joint operation between the French Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) and the UNESCO International Chair in Physics and Applied Mathematics (CIPMA). Since 2008, our Master’s program has brought together students from all over West and Central Africa to study the physics, chemistry and biology of the ocean. It is the only formation on the African continent that specialises in physical oceanography and its applications. We cover a broad range of topics, from ocean circulation theory to the coastal environment. The program is hosted by CIPMA and is run by staff from the two host universities: Université d’Abomey Calavi (UAC), Cotonou, Bénin and Université Paul Sabatier (UPS), Toulouse, France. Our instructors include professors from the two host universities, research staff from IRD and colleagues from Brazil and Germany.
