Bachelor of Science (Marine Biology)
The Bachelor of Science (Marine Biology) aims to provide students with a broad understanding of the biology of marine organisms, their relationships with the physico-chemical marine environment, and their potential responses to changes. The degree also provides students with the ability to acquire extensive subject knowledge in marine biodiversity, ecology, genetics, conservation, fisheries and related areas. The degree enables students to understand and apply scientific principles in a marine biology context and retrieve and present scientific information about marine biology. Students will be able to appreciate the multidisciplinary aspect of marine sciences and the ethical and societal contexts of marine sciences.

Structure
First year includes general biology and chemistry, specific marine science topics and elective topics. Electives can lead towards a specific employment area and we actively support students in making their topic choices. Students who do not have a background in chemistry are able to enrol in introductory chemistry topics. Second year introduces animal diversity, coasts and oceans, marine ecology, genetics, evolution and biodiversity in dedicated topics, as well as providing fundamental scientific research skills, including experimentation and statistics. Students will get hands-on experience in field trips to investigate various coastal ecosystems. Students will also gain practical experience and attend field trips to investigate various coastal ecosystems. Third year examines marine and freshwater biology, marine mammals, birds and reptiles, fisheries biology, science and management, plant and algal diversity and conservation biology and restoration ecology.
