2026 Summer Courses at Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences
The Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (ASU BIOS), a unit of the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory at Arizona State University, is accepting applications for two exciting summer courses scheduled for 2026.
These popular summer courses are designed to immerse an international cohort in an intensive 3-week program that is unique in marine science education. Founded in 1903, ASU BIOS is a world-class ocean science research and education facility. Our summer courses provide participants with the opportunity to expand their studies into subtropical environments and/or to investigate topics in ocean science which are not offered within the curricula of their home institutions. ASU BIOS has quick and easy access to a diverse array of subtropical marine habitats and ocean locations around Bermuda which, combined with lectures, discussions and integrated field work, skills training and laboratory exercises, create an optimal environment for experiential learning.
Suitably qualified applicants, of all nationalities, may apply for bursary funding towards course fees which include 3-weeks tuition, campus accommodation and meals (we do not award bursary funding for travel related expenses or medical/travel insurance).
