Passionate about the sea and its creatures? The Marine Science program within the Bachelor of Science degree delves into oceanography. You'll examine the physical, chemical, geological, and biological aspects of marine ecosystems to address pressing worldwide issues.
Covering 71% of our planet's surface, oceans play a vital role in sustaining life. They influence climate patterns, moderate temperatures, and generate weather systems that dictate precipitation, dry spells, and deluges. As Earth's primary carbon reservoir, oceans serve as natural carbon storage and thermal regulators. Over 90% of excess heat from climate change and approximately 30% of human-produced CO2 since industrialization have been absorbed by marine waters.
Pursue marine science to understand the transformations occurring in our oceans, their implications for global ecosystems, and how you can contribute to positive change.
