BSc Marine Biology

... United Kingdom
... University of Salford

Course Overview

Climate change, pollution and unsustainable fishing are just some of the many challenges facing marine life today. Our BSc (Hons) Marine Biology will enable you to gain a systematic understanding of key aspects of the marine environment, including the animals, as well as a detailed insight into the industry that relies on it.

The Marine Biology course curriculum is contemporary, managing to strike a fine balance between theoretical knowledge and practical skill learning. Practical training is particularly relevant and will be delivered during two residential field trips. The first one, in the second year of study, will be carried out in Scotland, at the renowned FSC Millport Field Station. A second international residential field trip will be organised in the third year.

The programme, accredited by the Royal Society of Biology aims to prepare future leaders, figures whom, thanks to skills acquired at the University of Salford, will be actively involved in managing and preserving the oceans.

You will:

  • Develop the skills necessary to manage and preserve our oceans

  • Have the opportunity to get real-world experience through field trips and placements

  • Combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills
