Integrated Masters - Master of Science - Marine Biology (C167)

In the Master of Science - Marine Biology program, Marine Biology is the study of organisms that occupy 95% of the biosphere of the planet, living in conditions ranging from the polar seas (below -2℃) to hydrothermal vents (greater than 100℃). The majority of the worlds species are found in the oceans; and range from the smallest micro-organism on the planet to the largest invertebrates such as giant squid and mammals like the blue whale. This very popular course allows students to study the fundamental aspects of the biology of marine life as well as more specialised aspects such as aquaculture, fisheries and marine biotechnology.

This is a 4-year course. During the first 3 years, students will follow the same course structure as Marine Biology Bachelor of Science. In the 4th year they will specialise and carry out a substantial research project. They will be able to work in a staff member’s research group and will gain valuable research experience of working in a research environment.
