Marine Biology

Marine biology is more than just working with dolphins and whales – it also helps make predictions about important changes and problems in the world like global warming, tourism and pollution.

The Marine Biology major will enable you to gain specialised knowledge and experience in marine biological systems, as well as a strong understanding of the application of ecological principles and environmental management strategies.

You will develop breadth of knowledge through a range of disciplines, from the biological sciences like botany and zoology to the physical sciences of chemistry, geography and oceanography.

As a Marine Biology graduate, you can find employment in both the public and private sectors, in areas including:

• Research
• Fisheries
• Commercial aquaculture
• Environmental monitoring and assessment
• Education
• Tourism.
