Profile
You’ll learn to use the latest technologies in molecular biology, high performance computing and robotic sampling to address the key challenges facing the marine environment.
On this course you’ll study topics such as:
- conservation strategies for vulnerable species and ecosystems
- ocean currents, globally connecting tropics to poles
- changing sea levels at our coasts, on timescales from hours to centuries
Fieldwork, practical skills and independent research are core parts of this programme. You’ll have the opportunity to:
- work in the field aboard the research vessel the RV Callista
- use laboratory analysis to examine our diverse marine environment
- develop computing and data analysis skills essential for research
- obtain qualifications in first aid and sea survival
After developing a range of key skills for oceanographers in your first and second years, you’ll tackle an advanced topic of choice for a dissertation in your third year.
Our BSc Oceanography programme will provide you with the professional-level skills that are ideal for a career in the expanding marine sector, or for progression to more specialised postgraduate study.
You’ll gain the guidance, support and expertise of researchers at the forefront of their fields, and graduate prepared for a career in industries like:
- environmental consultancy
- ocean and climate research
- coastal engineering and management
This degree is accredited by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST).
