Bermuda's higher education system is primarily supported by overseas institutions offering programs locally. The Bermuda College, the island's sole tertiary institution, collaborates with universities in the U.S. and U.K. to provide associate degrees and certificate programs. Key institutions include the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, known for marine research. Academic job opportunities in Bermuda are limited but focused on sectors like finance, tourism, and marine sciences, often requiring international recruitment due to the small local population.
