"summary": "About this course\nExplore marine biology and how it interrelates with the entire spectrum of marine science on this four-year integrated Marine Biology with Oceanography master's degree. You'll develop your intellectual, practical, and fieldwork skills in the collection, analysis, interpretation, and understanding of marine biological and oceanographic data.\n\nYou'll be based at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOCS) - one of the leading research centres globally for ocean science, and will spend a significant amount of time onboard our research vessels where you'll gain hands-on experience directly transferable to the workplace. The blend of multidisciplinary topics and experiences prepares you to working in today’s challenging environment. Graduates progress onto further study and into careers including conservation, biogeochemistry, environmental modelling, environmental consultancy, and \nresearch around the world.\n\nKey features of the course:\n- Study at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOCS), one of the leading research centres globally for ocean science\n\n\n- Choose modules that cover topics ranging from the deep ocean to shallow seas\n\n\n- Take part in four field courses (two boat-based) across years one, two, three, and four\n\n\n- Learn through a mixture of lectures, laboratory work, and field work, graduating with real-life skills suited to industry to enhance your employment prospects\n\n\n- Become part of a department ranked 8th in the UK and top 40 globally, QS World Rankings by Subject (Earth and Marine Science) 2026\n\n\n- Join a University where 99% of Ocean and Earth Science graduates were in employment or further study 15 months after graduation (Graduate Outcomes 2022/2023, published 2025).\n\n\nStudent support\nOur supervisors will mentor you throughout your studies as you gain the expertise needed to take the next steps in your career. They will help you decide on optional modules, and discuss your future career plans to ensure you are on the right path for you.\n\nFurther information\nThis course is open to UK and international applicants and is accredited by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST)",
