Dubrovnik, on Croatia’s Adriatic coast, is a base for marine research in one of the Mediterranean’s cleaner seas. The University of Dubrovnik established its Institute for Marine and Coastal Research in 2005, and the institute conducts research on the Adriatic Sea and coast, including work connected with the city’s aquarium.
Marine biology study in Dubrovnik covers coastal ecosystems, fisheries, and the effects of tourism and shipping on the sea. The Adriatic setting gives students access to field sites within a short distance of the city.
The original version of this article gave the institute’s founding year as 2006, named a specific marine biology master’s, and cited 3,000 enrolled students. The year has been corrected to 2005; the named degree and the enrollment figure could not be verified and have been removed. Confirm current programmes with the university before applying.
