BSc (Hons) Marine Biology with Professional Studies in Belfast United Kingdom | Queen's University Belfast

Earth's oceans play a vital role in sustaining life on our planet. Containing 97% of Earth's water and 99% of its habitable space (NASA data), these vast waters are the focus of marine biology - a multidisciplinary field examining ocean life. Today, marine biology graduates hold unprecedented importance for our society, economy, and environment. Challenges like overfishing, pollution, and climate change are converging to create dramatic, often devastating transformations in marine ecosystems. As a marine biologist, you'll utilize advanced technologies to address these problems across all scales, from molecular to ecosystem levels. Regarding resource management, the UK oversees territorial waters spanning 6.8 million km (more than fourteen times its land area), hosting a valuable blue economy including renewable energy, fossil fuels, fisheries, and mineral resources. Sustainable management of these assets demands expertise from trained marine biologists.
