About this course
MMarBiol (Honours) in Marine Biology, a marine biology degree focused on the study of marine life, organisms, and environments. Core topics include Statistics, Research Methods, and Fieldwork. This five-year integrated Masters programme combines undergraduate and postgraduate study to build advanced research experience. The first year covers molecular and cellular biology alongside organismal, behavioural, and ecological aspects of life through modules such as Biology 1 and Biology 2. The second year introduces foundational concepts via Ecology, Invertebrate Zoology, Research Methods in Biology, and The Oceans. Third-year study includes Biology of Marine Organisms, Ecosystems and Conservation, Evolution, and Field Course. The final year examines specialised topics through modules such as Environmental Drivers of Marine Habitats, Fisheries Research, Scientific Diving, and Tropical Marine Biology.
