Marine & Freshwater Biology Bsc/msci in University of Glasgow

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

YEAR 1

You will be given a general introduction to all aspects of modern biology and encouraged to acquire general scientific skills.

YEAR 2

In semester 1, you will develop your knowledge of fundamental aspects of biology. In semester 2, you will be introduced to specialist subject areas according to your interests (eg animal biology; biomolecular sciences; human biology; infection biology).

You can also study other subjects in years 1 and 2: see Flexible degrees.

YEAR 3, 4 AND 5

If you progress to Honours (years 3 and 4) you will study a wide range of topics including animal diversity and its classification; ethical aspects of scientific work; evolution and ecology; wildlife conservation; animal behaviour and animal welfare; environmental management (aquatic pollution); and aquatic environments. There are also visits to hatcheries, fish farms and aquaculture projects.

Another major component of your final year is an independent research project, which can be carried out in the laboratory, or in the field, at home or abroad. 

You can take Marine & Freshwater Biology as an MSci, which includes an additional placement year,

between the third and final years of the degree. This is normally spent doing research in industry or some other organisation such as a research institute in the UK or overseas.

The available final-year optional courses are subject to change each year. Places on optional courses may be limited, so students are not guaranteed a place on a particular final-year option.

Programme alteration or discontinuation
The University of Glasgow endeavours to run all programmes as advertised. In exceptional circumstances, however, the University may withdraw or alter a programme.
