Marine Environmental Studies is for students who are interested in marine environmental science, management and policy. This degree is a fully integrated marine science course which incorporates all aspects of the marine system physical, chemical, biological, and geological – with, in addition, management issues, such as management of the coastal zone, environmental policy, and sustainable development. The course covers the whole ocean system, but concentrates on the coastal and shelf seas, since these are the focus of socio economic activity and are the most susceptible to climatic and human induced change. It is suitable for students both with and without mainstream science backgrounds.

About this course


The course aims to enable understudies to: Demonstrate an understanding of the concepts of temporal and spatial scales in relation to the study of earth processes and systems.

Demonstrate an understanding of theories, paradigms, concepts and principles of physical processes within the Earth and its atmosphere.

Describe and exemplify the nature of endogenic and exogenic earth processes.

Demonstrate an understanding of the inter relationship of processes occurring within earth systems.


This course is intended for students who wish to pursue careers in administrations that require expert knowledge of marine science and its socio economic implications at local and regional levels, such as conservation organisations, local authorities, government advisory bodies, the media and pressure groups.

280 320 points at A2/AS level (or equivalent) including A2 in two science subjects (desirable); potential subjects are Biology, Geography, Environmental Studies, Chemistry, Economics, Maths, Statistics, Geology, Physics, Computing (we will also consider applicants with other subjects on an individual basis – please contact the School); plus grade C at GCSE Double Award Science, Maths and English Language.
