This Marine Biology program emphasizes hands-on learning, giving you direct experience with marine ecosystems while being taught by top experts in the field.
Earth's survival depends on healthy oceans. We aim to equip you with the expertise to tackle worldwide issues as a trained marine biologist. At Newcastle University, you'll gain distinctive experiences while building the competencies for a thriving professional journey.
Marine Biology is an ideal path for those who care deeply about nature, adore the sea, aspire to create global impact, and strive to excel in a demanding field.
You'll tackle pressing modern concerns such as: declining marine biodiversity, ocean conservation, climate shifts, oceanic contamination
responsible utilization of marine assets
Your studies will cover all marine organisms, from invertebrates and fish to seabirds, marine mammals, plants, algae, and microorganisms. You'll also examine how the chemical and physical characteristics of oceans affect marine ecosystems.
You'll benefit from exceptional resources. Our research vessel, the Princess Royal, will take you to sea, while our coastal Dove Marine Laboratory hosts practical sessions. You'll conduct fieldwork and laboratory analysis, applying classroom knowledge to real-world situations.
