About this course
BSc (Honours) in Ecology and Conservation, a marine biology degree focused on the scientific study of natural habitats and biodiversity protection. Core topics include Research Methods. The course spans four years full time and covers biological sciences through progressive stages from foundational concepts to specialized ecological analysis. The first year introduces molecular and cellular biology alongside organismal and ecological aspects of life through modules such as Biology 1 and Biology 2. The second year expands into biochemistry, cell biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, molecular biology, research methods in biology, and vertebrate zoology. The third year offers advanced study in specialized areas through modules including Animal Behaviour: A Quantitative Approach, Biology of Marine Organisms, Ecosystems and Conservation, Quantitative Ecology, Evolution, and Methods in Aquatic Biology.
