Course Overview

At Chester you will be taught a broad degree, exploring genetics, physiology, biodiversity and behaviour. Our staff have both national and international research, industry and consultancy experience, and use this to inform their teaching. Our department is friendly with an open door policy and uses a variety of teaching methods to assist students with all learning needs. Students appreciate the sense of community. All students will be assigned a personal academic tutor, who will support them throughout their degree.

The University of Chester is located in close proximity to the Dee Estuary which comprises the marine areas of The Dee Estuary Special Protection Area (SPA) and Dee Estuary / Aber Dyfrdwy Special Area of Conservation (SAC) with internationally important wetland species.

We have an excellent team to support students throughout their time with us and including careers advice for when they leave. With a Marine Biology degree from Chester you will enter the sector as a work ready graduate who is able to hit the ground running either within the sector or with a broader career should you so choose.

Our staff are well connected to a number of Marine Biology organisations and are working with them to develop extracurricular activities such as beach cleans and volunteering for marine conservation projects.
