理学学士（荣誉）海洋生物学

从微观藻类到巨型鲸鱼，我们星球的大部分生命都在海洋中发现。作为海洋生物学家，您将了解海洋生物的行为，生理学和生态学，以及全球变暖和渔业对海洋食物网的影响。我们培养了高度就业的海洋生物学家，能够将他们的知识和技能应用于包括监测，污染，保护和水产养殖在内的领域。我们为期四年的综合硕士课程旨在为高绩效海洋生物学家提供最佳标准的培训，为他们做好博士学位研究和就业做好准备。选修基础年，选修国外
From microscopic algae to giant whales, most of our planet's life is found in the oceans. As a marine biologist, you will learn about the behaviour, physiology, and ecology of marine organisms.<br><br>You will discover how individuals, populations and communities respond to environmental drivers such as temperature and food availability, as well as to the challenges presented by a changing climate and human interaction. You will also gain the varied skills necessary to examine the marine environment and relay your findings to audiences from the general public through to government bodies.<br><br>Contemporary marine biology requires a broad set of skills, including field work, writing and presentation, and data analysis. In your first two years of study, you will develop these core skills and, in year three, you will take advanced modules in areas of interest to you to further develop your overall understanding and growing expertise.<br><br>You can choose modules from across the School of Environmental Sciences and from the School of Life Sciences. In each year there are topics such as climate change and ocean physics, population ecology, physiology, conservation, parasitology, microbiology, molecular biology and genetics.<br><br>Our research-led teaching approach allows our students to engage with up-to-the-minute science and policy in lectures, practical work, and in their independent research projects in year three. This is an opportunity to explore fields or skills of interest, often working on unanswered questions in marine science. Recent projects include investigating physiological data on how cormorants stay warm while diving in frigid Arctic waters, building mathematical models of coral reefs, and looking at the impacts of a wind farm on benthic communities.<br><br>A number of the School's degree programmes involve laboratory and field work. Fieldwork is carried out in various locations, ranging from inner city to coastal and mountainous environments. We consider applications from prospective disabled students on the same basis as all other students, and reasonable adjustments will be considered to address barriers to access.
