Course Description
Study life beneath the waves on this exciting course. It includes subsidised PADI scuba training and takes advantage of local resources like the North Sea and The Deep.
A marine biologist rises to the challenge of conserving and managing marine resources against a background of environmental change. You'll become familiar with a range of marine organisms and habitats – and confident with survey and data analysis techniques.
- Become a qualified advanced open water diver on one of the few courses to offer subsidised PADI training
- Field work is an integral part of the course: including opportunities for residentials in Britain and overseas
- 95% of our graduates are in work or further study within six months (UK domicile full-time first degree leavers; Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education survey for the academic year 2016/17, published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency 2018)
- Industry-standard facilities include 33,000-litres of tropical aquaria
The North Sea forms a perfect backdrop for the degree; making Hull an ideal place to study marine biology. With access to internationally recognised research facilities – including The Deep – you'll enjoy getting hands-on experience as you learn.
The foundation year is ideal to boost your skills and knowledge if you don't quite meet our academic entry requirements.
