Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Marine Biology (C160)

An academic understanding of ocean life across the world has never been more important. Swansea University's three-year Marine Biology degree is highly practical and fieldwork based and their unique location gives students easy access to a variety of study habitats including exposed rocky shores, steep cliffs salt marshes and estuarine mudflats. All second-year students receive training at sea.

Field courses available near and far allow students to work varied habitats. Students can explore the spectacular marine coastal ecosystems of the Gower Peninsula on our doorstep, and natural life in distant lands such as India, Borneo and Puerto Rico.

Graduates have become Ecologists, Project Officers, Hydrometry and Telemetry Officers, Benthic Taxonomists, Wildlife and Education Officers, Animal Keepers and Crop Technicians. The department has strong connections with international and national organizations such as Natural Resources Wales, The British Mammal Society and The National Wetlands Centre Wales which will add value to students' studies.
