Overview

Bachelor of Science - Marine Systems

Marine Systems Specialisation builds on introductory earth systems knowledge by studying units at our National Marine Science Centre adjacent to the Solitary Islands. 

These cover oceanography, marine ecology, fish and aquaculture, reefs, fisheries and marine parks management. 

You can choose from various elective units, including marine megafauna, ocean change biology, drone technology and special analysis, and coastal fluvial hydrodynamics.

All students study seven core units that provide a solid scientific foundation, including field and laboratory experimentation, analytical techniques, socio-ecological systems, management, and critical thinking. 

Core skills and knowledge are reinforced and expanded across the three-year program, finishing with capstone research projects in Impactful Science and Practice. 

The Bachelor of Science at Southern Cross University is flexible and allows you to incorporate various subjects with career-focused science specialisations. 

Within their study program, students will have the option for an internship placement at career-relevant workplaces.
