Degree Overview:
It is estimated that up to 80% of all life on earth exists in the ocean – it could be even more considering less than 10% of the ocean has been explored by humans. Gain an appreciation of the diversity of marine life, the interactions between species and biota, and the physical environment. With a strong emphasis on fundamental biological principles and how these underpin successful marine conservation and management, you’ll cover topics including marine botany, fish biology, marine wildlife populations, marine ecology, aquaculture and human impacts and management, supported by extensive field work and practical learning. Participate in field research camps, including to Point Peron or Coral Bay.Become job-ready with every unit you study comprising laboratory sessions or fieldwork.Put theory into context on local and global scales with real-life examples and a holistic approach to learning.
