The title of the program accurately describes its contents as it covers a range of marine-related topics including oceanography, marine protected areas, ecology and climate change adaptation. The program's structure is well-designed and tailored to the needs of students of different levels and backgrounds, to help them overcome any obstacles and adapt to the course material as quickly and comfortably as possible. In my experience, the class was truly international, with students from various nationalities and backgrounds. The combination of lectures, practicals, and other activities, such as journal clubs, was a smart approach that covered diverse areas of student development. Being able to present in front of an audience was a significant achievement for me and my fellow students. Although summarizing and reading different topics in a short period of time was often challenging, the journal clubs helped us to overcome these difficulties, and I have noticed a significant improvement in myself and other students since the beginning of the program. This emphasis on student success is a testament to the program's effectiveness. The lectures, thanks to all the professors, were enjoyable and exciting every time. They demonstrated a diverse range of topics concerning the marine world, making it easy to focus. In terms of the university staff, they made my experience the best. The student experience office was one of the reasons why I came to Gibraltar to study, as they provided me with all the guidance that I needed to join the program.
