BSc (Hons) Marine Biology with Oceanography
Course Overview
This course explores the dynamic interplay of biological, chemical, and physical processes that govern life in our oceans, with a strong emphasis on marine sustainability and ecosystem management. You will develop essential practical skills through hands-on training at sea, in the field, and in the laboratory, preparing you for a career as a marine scientist. The programme is professionally accredited and offers an optional Year in China to broaden your international perspective.
Key Program Highlights
- Focus on marine sustainability, ecosystem management, and the ocean's role in the climate system
- Hands-on training through sea-going, field, and laboratory work across all years of study
- Development of key numerical skills for data collection, processing, analysis, and interpretation
- Professional accreditation from the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST)
- Unique opportunity for an international study year in China at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University
