Marine biology is the study of our planet’s largest and most diverse ecosystem—the sea.  

Marine biologists observe, preserve and discover ocean life, from tiny shelled creatures and thriving underwater forests to flashing squids and roving sharks.

Our Bachelor of Science (Marine Biology) has a focus on contemporary marine biology practices on both a local and global scale, with a five-star student satisfaction ranking for teaching quality and overall experience*. You will:

• get hands-on in marine and freshwater environments
• master your expertise in the lab, then apply these techniques in the field
• learn the skills to be able to work on temperate seas—from sub-polar to sub-tropical, where there is a high demand for graduates
• explore pressing and critical issues like conservation, species protection and the effects of plastics on the ocean
• access cutting-edge technology and equipment used in pioneering research around the world
• learn from nationally and internationally acclaimed researchers
• dive into coastal management, evolutionary science and marine ecology.
