About this course
BSc in Marine Biology, a marine biology degree focused on the study of aquatic organisms and their natural habitats. Core topics include Statistics, Research Methods, and Fieldwork. Teaching takes place at the Penryn campus in Cornwall, incorporating practical residential field trips in the United Kingdom. The first year establishes fundamental concepts through compulsory study in Marine Biology, Ecology and Conservation, and Evolution and Genetics, alongside optional choices such as Animal Diversity. Year two advances these principles via core modules including Analysis of Biological Data, Marine Ecology, Marine Monitoring, and the UK Marine Field Course, complemented by optional modules covering topics like Evolutionary Ecology and GIS for Wildlife Mapping. Optional modules in the later stages allow students to pursue specialised interests across various environmental and ecological subjects.
