Overview

Bachelor of Marine Science

As a student, you will address and manage complex issues to sustain marine industries in healthy marine ecosystems. 

As a graduate, you will be equipped to tackle problems that affect the oceans, tourism, fisheries and food production, climate change, maritime pollution and waste management.

Griffith University is ideal for studying marine science with cutting-edge teaching and research strengths. 

The Gold Coast is the perfect natural laboratory with easy access to extensive natural and artificial waterways, iconic surf beaches, and Moreton Bay's diverse wetlands and coastal biodiversity.

You will be offered a marine industry placement through the Industry Affiliates Program and/or a capstone experience exposing you to professional activities in fisheries, aquaculture, marine conservation, coastal management and/or coastal engineering.

In your first year, you will take core courses that provide the necessary foundations in the basic sciences. 

In the second and third years, you focus on your specialisation.

Suppose you have not decided about your majors. 

In that case, you can choose an “undeclared” major in the application portal at your study commencing and select your suitable major after the first year.
