Our BSc Marine Biology provides a detailed understanding of
marine biodiversity and ecology, the nature of threats to aquatic
systems and how they can be managed. You cover applied marine survey
and practical skills ranging from species identification to
diving-based research skills.
During your second- and third-year marine and coastal field courses,
you investigate marine biodiversity, develop skills in survey
techniques and participate in an optional subsidised tropical field
course. Specialised modules cover aquatic mammals and fish biology,
marine biodiversity, freshwater ecology, tropical marine ecology,
conservation, water pollution, coastal ecology, and evolution and
behaviour.
Your individual research project allows you to develop your
interests; previous topics have included shellfisheries and water
quality, turtle ecology in Greece and coral reef conservation
strategies in the Caribbean and Indonesia.
Our four-year Integrated Masters in Marine Biology enables you to
achieve a postgraduate level qualification. Our course provides an
ideal basis for careers where research and independent project
management are required, including progression to a PhD.
