Gain a comprehensive understanding of the natural world and the challenges facing it. Combine essential zoological principles with specialist knowledge of the marine environment with a BSc (Hons) Zoology with Marine Biology degree 

Supportive, accredited learning

Thanks to the supportive learning environment, you will gain a systematic understanding of key aspects of biodiversity, and conservation, learning how these apply to the marine environment. Our Zoology with Marine Biology programme curriculum, accredited by the Royal Society of Biology, is contemporary and will enhance employability through the University’s industry collaborations.

Hands-on learning

Practical training is particularly relevant and will be delivered during two residential field trips in coastal locations. The first one, in the second year of study, will be carried out in Scotland, at the renowned Millport Field Station. The second trip will be an overseas residential course that will take place in the 3rd year.

The animal kingdom and our precarious ecosystems are threatened - both by mankind and nature itself. Studying zoology with marine biology and building an understanding of animal physiology, evolution and ecosystems is the first essential step to finding solutions to these global issues.

Zoology with Marine Biology graduates can enter a wide range of career paths. These include careers related to the wider sciences training such as science communication and publishing, science administration, to marine life conservation and management. Other graduates may go on to work in the environmental consultancy industry, marine biotechnology as well as research institutes and government agencies.
