Marine Science is the study of oceanographic processes, marine life and governance in the ocean.
Oceans support life at every level and are vital for the supply of food, water, and medicine, as well as for transportation and trade.
Oceans are studied from the coastline to the high seas, from the surface layers to the abyssal plains, covering both tropical and temperate ecosystems.
The Bachelor of Marine Science at UOW takes advantage of the diverse NSW South Coast environment, an ideal location for specialist marine training.
This setting provides substantial fieldwork opportunities in addition to the extensive laboratory-based learning you will undertake during the course.
You will learn how to observe, define and experiment with coastal processes and biodiversity, use emerging technologies to ensure these environments' sustainable management and be trained in essential skills necessary for the workplace.
What you will study
You will study a combination of core science subjects and focussed fundamental subjects key to your understanding of marine science, including:
Biodiversity, ecology, evolution, oceanography, sedimentology, coastal processes, geospatial analysis, environmental management, ocean policy and more.
On completion, high-performing students considering further study or a research career should consider the Honours program in Marine Science.
This one-year degree offers students a pathway to expand their knowledge in marine science and achieve their research aspirations.
