Marine science is the study of oceanographic processes, marine life and governance in the ocean. Marine scientists investigate the physical and biological nature of oceans, their conservation and environmental management and impact on human society. Throughout this degree, you will learn how to understand, observe and define oceanographic and coastal processes, ocean biodiversity, governance, and management. You will use emerging technologies in marine science and be trained in skills necessary for the workplace. The benefit of studying Bachelor of Marine Science at UOW is its proximity to the diverse NSW South Coast environment; an ideal location to undertake specialist marine training. This setting provides substantial fieldwork opportunities in addition to the extensive laboratory-based learning you will undertake during the degree.
