Course Overview

The Marine Biology element of this Marine Biology and Zoology BSc degree course covers animals, seaweeds, plants, and microbial life in the seas and their interactions.

This degree, therefore, gives a wide overview of the diversity of animal life and ecosystems on this planet, ranging from the mountains to tropical coral reefs and deep sea trenches. In this course, you will learn how interactions between animals, such as elephants and sharks, and their environments apply equally to marine, terrestrial and freshwater habitats. You will be introduced to the fundamentals of biology, ecology, and the evolution of marine organisms and all animal groups. We also cover more applied aspects such as aquaculture and fisheries, parasitology, and immunology.
