Build in-demand scientific knowledge and skillsAccredited by the Royal Society of Biology, our course will help you to build knowledge of key biological processes, biodiversity and ecosystems, while developing practical skills in our Bodmer laboratories and through field work. In your final year, you will complete a research project based on a subject topic of your choice and gain specialist knowledge in fisheries science and marine biotechnology.
Get closer to industryFocusing on real-world issues, we put fieldwork at the heart of your learning experience. In recent years, students have taken part in residential trips to Cumbria, Scotland, Shropshire and Honduras. On this course, you will have the option to include an industry placement between years two and three. Previous Marine Biology students have experienced placements with organisations such as Operation Wallacea (various destinations worldwide) and Archipelagos (Greece), studying charismatic animals like sea turtles and marine mammals.
