I am interested in studying M.Sc OCEAN AND CLIMATE PHYSICS at the University of Hamburg. I have confirmed that the following are the application requirements for this program:

<Application requirements>
- BSc degree in Geophysics/Physical Oceanography
- From Universität Hamburg OR an equivalent BSc degree
- With at least 90 CP in mathematical-physical courses
- Proficient knowledge and use of English language“

I am currently majoring in Oceanography at a university in Korea and belong to the Department of Earth and Environmental Systems Science, with a major in Oceanography.

While I am studying Physical Oceanography as well, my Bachelor's degree is technically in 'Oceanography', not specifically in 'Physical Oceanography'. Therefore, I would like to confirm whether my BSc degree meets the application requirements and even if my major is suitable, do I still need to have at least 90 CP in mathematical-physical courses?

Thank you for your help!
