Course Overview

Learn about the many challenges facing marine life today with a degree in Marine Biology. This course will provide you with a strong foundation in biology and environmental issues, allowing you to progress onto a BSc (Hons) Marine Biology degree course, which is accredited by the Royal Society of Biology. During the foundation year you will study modules which will increase your knowledge and understanding of basic biology and other aspects of environmental studies. There is an emphasis on both understanding and problem solving in addition to practical and communication skills.

This pathway is recommended if you want to study the full honours degree, but don’t meet the direct entry requirements. On successful completion of the foundation year, you will progress on to the full honours degree, where you will continue to build scientific knowledge and gain a better understanding of the marine environment and marine organisms. 

Studying 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 curriculum is contemporary, managing to strike a fine balance between theoretical knowledge and practical skill learning.

You will:

  • Gain a broad, basic knowledge of biological principles to prepare you for more advanced study

  • Develop problem solving, practical and communication skills
