Our marine biology program boasts global recognition, offering you the chance to study marine life from coastal waters to the ocean depths. You'll examine everything from microscopic organisms to massive sea creatures, gaining insights into marine ecosystems, understanding the reasons behind oceanic biodiversity, and mastering conservation techniques.
With access to top-tier European marine facilities and hands-on fieldwork in the diverse coastal environments of Southwest Britain and South Africa - plus the opportunity to earn HSE diving certification - you'll acquire what may be the most comprehensive practical training available in marine biology. Upon graduation, your extensive skill set and specialized knowledge will prepare you to address the critical environmental issues threatening our oceans today.
