Overview

As we become increasingly aware of the importance of marine organisms in climate regulation, food sources, medicine, and other products, this field of study becomes ever more crucial. The oceans are home to the majority of the world's species, from the smallest microorganisms to the largest invertebrates like giant squid and mammals such as the blue whale. This popular Marine Biology (Hons) course allows you to explore the fundamental aspects of marine biology, as well as specialised areas like aquaculture, fisheries, and marine biotechnology.
