Overview

Bachelor of Coastal and Marine Science

Is the ocean and coast part of your lifestyle? Do you want to learn about the marine environment?

The coastal and marine environment provides recreation, food, energy, and other resources and needs to be sustainably managed in the face of an uncertain future. 

Australia is home to some of the world's most unique and diverse coastlines and marine ecosystems.

By understanding the ecological, physical, conservation, societal and management issues they face – such as climate change, pollution, urbanisation and conflicting users – we can help solve these problems. 

When you study a Bachelor of Coastal and Marine Science at The University of Newcastle, you’ll learn from experts in marine, coastal and ecological fields – giving you practical skills to make a difference in our world.

Practical experience

You’ll have access to world-class facilities and novel technologies and participate in field and laboratory work to help develop your analytical, research and communication skills.

You’ll also have the opportunity to engage in work-integrated learning and gain recognised certifications such as a boat license, radio operator license, and drone and remotely operated vehicle operation.

Together this learning will ensure you have skills that are highly sought after by industry and government to work in the coastal and marine space.
