ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The University of Dubrovnik offers students unique opportunities for hands-on learning and research in a real coastal environment. The University manages research and cultivation facilities, vessels, and specialized areas for practical fieldwork at Bistrina Bay (Malostonski zaljev). Students gain experience in marine and aquaculture studies aboard the University’s research vessel Naše more, where they participate in field research and learn various methods of scientific investigation at sea.
