This unique program which combines an on-line course followed by on-site studies in Bermuda, provides you with the opportunity to obtain a credit at one of the world's oldest and leading research stations, the Bermuda Institute Of Ocean Sciences. This facility is renowned for its examination into the connection between the ocean and human health, climate change, marine science and coral reef ecology.

The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences is situated on a hilltop overlooking the beach - only steps away where you can kayak, swim and snorkel. Accommodation will be at the Research Station Residence and amazing meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included in your program.

The first 14 days of this program are done On-Line - we then depart from Toronto Pearson Airport for the remainder of your program on St. George's Island in Bermuda. You will have classes at the Station as well as during excursions to compliment and enhance your study program and research projects.

We sail to North Rock to experience a breathtaking underwater world and snorkel for hours to view the incredible marine life on the coral reefs such as Parrot fish, large Squid and Groupers; head out to various bays for day and night snorkeling with headlamps and underwater flashlights to species that light up the waters in the dark; explore hidden caves and swim amongst the stalactites and stalagmites; study native trees, plants and birds; learn about the effects of hurricanes on the island and visit the sand dunes and mangroves that surround the island.

Bermuda has a sub-tropical climate and consists of 350 islands created by underwater volcanic eruptions that took place over 100 million years ago. The islands as they appear today were sculpted by ocean currents and covered by limestone - as a result Bermuda is surrounded by the northernmost coral reef in the world which created the pink coloured sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters for which Bermuda is famous!

The island's compact size, plethora of shipwrecks, differing tidal times, and abundance of coral reefs and marine life provides an ideal study ground for hands on fieldwork projects that are incorporated into your program.

Fully equipped labs, library, common study rooms, and computer facilities along with resident research staff are available to provide you with all the resources you need to complete your credit course.

And of course you will have free time to shop, enjoy some of the tasty local rum cakes, visit the 400 year old forts and towns, enjoy the unspoiled beaches, body surf, explore the island on a guided Jet Ski Tour, swim with Dolphins at a research facility or join in a soccer, football, ultimate Frisbee or volleyball game on site at the station.
