Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Marine and Freshwater Biology

Aquatic environments cover about 71% of the Earth's surface and play vital roles in regulating global ecosystems, providing food and resources that benefit human mental and physical health. However, these environments are increasingly affected by human activities and environmental changes. Marine and Freshwater Biology is the study of these aquatic ecosystems.

Teaching of this course involves the use of real-world examples from aquatic resources provided through our global partners. he students will get hands-on experience in our freshwater and marine facilities, learning how to apply theory to practice.

The students will be trained through modules that will equip them with specialist skills in laboratory techniques, aquatic ecology and using resources sustainably within the developing “blue economy”.

Our combination of lectures, practical work, fieldwork and research projects will ensure that the students will receive a solid foundation in the subject and be ready for future career.
