Bachelor of Science (Marine Biology)
University of Adelaide - All Adelaide Campus
Overview
Our Bachelor of Science (Marine Biology) emphasises expertise in the lab and experiential learning out in the elements. You'll learn from nationally and internationally acclaimed researchers as you:
- 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 seasfrom 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.
This degree prepares you for work on temperate seas; from sub-polar to sub-tropical. This is because there's a high demand for graduates skilled in temperate marine biology. Where could it take you? You could explore future life in a high-CO2 world, dive on underwater volcanoes or lead oceanic ecotours. You might study the effects of climate change on our reefs or research the impact of microplastics in fish. Perhaps you'll make documentaries to educate the wider public or discover totally new marine species.
