What are the chances of getting a job?

Job opportunities for oceanographers in New Zealand are limited. Many people who study oceanography go overseas to work, where opportunities are better. Stiff competition for oceanographer positions

Competition for jobs is strong because only about 35 oceanographers work in New Zealand, and they tend to stay in the job for a long time, making vacancies rare.

A second example: http://www.uni-kiel.de/

Die erste Adresse in Deutschland für Ozean-, Erd- und Klimaforschung ist Kiel – das gilt auch für Studenten. Die Kieler Christian-Albrechts-Universität hat als eine der ersten Hochschulen auf diesem Gebiet ein Paket neuer, aufeinander aufbauender Bachelor- und Masterstudiengänge geschnürt, das jetzt offiziell von der Akkreditierungsagentur ASIIN zugelassen wurde. Im Oktober beginnen die ersten Studierenden mit ihrem Studium, das eng mit dem Leibniz-Institut für Meereswissenschaften IFM-GEOMAR verbunden ist.

Das neue Programm besteht aus einem gemeinsamen dreijährigen Bachelorstudium: Physik des Erdsystems: Meteorologie – Ozeanographie – Geophysik. Das deckt eine breite Grundausbildung ab – von Angewandter Mathematik bis zur Methodik der Physik, die in den drei Spezialisierungen vertieft werden kann.
