Bsc Marine Biology in University of Essex

On our marine biology course you dive into a fascinatingly complex world of whales, coral reefs, fish, deep sea trenches, coastal lagoons, sea ice, and tropical seagrass beds. The vast majority of life on earth is found under the sea; but exactly how much remains unknown, since there is so much still to be explored.

At Essex, we take you on a journey of discovery from the poles to the tropical reef systems of the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic Oceans. We work on ecosystems from estuaries and coastal environments to oceanic systems, and on conservation and resource management.

You gain an expert knowledge of marine biology through study of essential core modules and the flexibility to specialise in the areas that interest you most, including:

• The major types of marine communities, including aquatic mammals and fish
• Direct and indirect human impact on the marine environment
• Coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangrove systems
• Marine and freshwater taxonomy and biodiversity
• Diving and snorkel-based practices

Your independent research project allows you to develop your own interests. Previous topics have included shellfisheries and water quality, turtle ecology in Greece and coral reef conservation strategies in the Caribbean and Indonesia.

There are numerous opportunities to go on field trips as part of this course, although please note that these may be subject to additional costs. These are provided against the relevant modules under the "Structure" tab.

During the field trip to Wakatobi Marine National Park in Indonesia, our students are able to participate in underwater lectures:

Why we're great.

• Our underwater lectures give you an exciting, unique and engaging educational experience.
• We develop your practical skills with subsidised UK and optional overseas field trips.
• You receive SCUBA training and conduct real research during your trip to Indonesia.
