BSc (Hons) Marine Biology and Oceanography in Bangor United Kingdom | Bangor University

This cross-disciplinary program offers comprehensive exploration of oceanic biological, chemical, and physical systems, covering marine environments from coastal estuaries to open seas. Students will examine marine ecosystems at all scales, from microscopic organisms to massive sea creatures, while gaining specialized insight into how physical forces (like currents, tides, and wave dynamics) and biogeochemical cycles (including carbon flow and microbial nutrient recycling) shape interactions between atmospheric, oceanic, and seabed systems.
The curriculum delivers thorough knowledge of critical processes in diverse marine environments. Students will analyze marine biodiversity across all size scales while developing expertise in surrounding physical and chemical conditions: examining water movements, tidal patterns, and the complex biogeochemical exchanges connecting air, water, and seafloor ecosystems.
Optional Placement Year and International Study Opportunities Available
