Yes, you can pursue a course in oceanology even with an arts background, though some science knowledge may be required. Many universities offer interdisciplinary or preparatory options to bridge the gap. Institutes like KUFOS, CUSAT, and Andhra University offer strong oceanography programs. You may need to show interest or take foundational science courses. Passion and curiosity matter more than your starting stream!

With an Arts background, you cannot take direct admission in B.Sc. Oceanology, as it requires science subjects.
However, you can study Geography, Environmental Studies, or related Arts courses at UG level.
After graduation, you can pursue M.A./M.Sc. in Marine Studies, Oceanography, or Coastal Area Management.
Top institutes offering Oceanography include Goa University, CUSAT (Kerala), and Andhra University.
The National Institute of Oceanography, Goa is also renowned for research opportunities.
So, Arts students can reach Oceanology through an indirect pathway via related subjects.

Good morning, Oceanology (or Oceanography) is a fascinating field, but it’s one that’s deeply rooted in science. Unfortunately, if you’ve taken the Arts stream, you won’t be eligible for most core Oceanography programs at the undergraduate level.
Eligibility for B.Sc. Oceanography: Requires Class 12 with Science stream, specifically Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM).
This is because Oceanography involves:
Fluid dynamics
Marine chemistry
Geological mapping
Biological systems
