Marine Biology With Oceanography Bsc (hons) in University of Liverpool

Life first emerged in the ocean and has spread throughout this dynamic environment. The distribution, growth and success of marine organisms is affected by the interaction of biological, chemical and physical processes operating in the ocean.

You will study the interaction between the biology of marine organisms, the composition and properties of seawater and the physical processes operating in the oceans.

There is a strong emphasis on marine  sustainability and ecosystem management, marine biogeochemistry, the climate system and numerical skills. Training at sea, in the field, and in the laboratory in Years One, Two and Three will provide you with the essential skills required to be a successful marine scientist including practical experience of data collection and processing, analysis and interpretation.

Programme in detail

Throughout the three-year programme, core modules in marine biology and ocean sciences will provide you with observational, analytical and numerical skills. You will also have a choice of optional modules from within the School of Environmental Science and the School of Life Sciences.

In the final year, you will take advanced modules in an area of interest, and spend a large amount of time working on a research project in either marine biology, ocean sciences or a topic that combines the two disciplines.

The degree in Marine Biology with Oceanography at Liverpool is accredited by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMAREST).

Career prospects

There has never been a better time to study Ocean Sciences: to understand how the oceans are warming, where sea level is rising, how the oceans are taking up carbon from the atmosphere, and how these changes are affecting plankton and marine life. Our degree programmes are designed to provide you with the skills to tackle these global environmental challenges. The vast majority of our recent graduates gain employment within a degree-related field or continue further within education and research after graduation.
