Overview

We are increasingly aware of the value of marine organisms for their role in influencing and indicating changes in our climate, for food, medicine and other products.

The majority of the worlds species are found in the oceans; and range from the smallest micro-organism on the planet to the largest invertebrates such as giant squid and mammals like the blue whale.

This very popular course allows you to study the fundamental aspects of the biology of marine life as well as more specialised aspects such as aquaculture, fisheries and marine biotechnology.
