You’ll learn the underpinning aspects of the physics, chemistry and biology that are critical to understanding the pivotal role played by the Earth’s oceans in our modern society. \n\nAlongside this, you’ll develop hands‑on skills using cutting-edge scientific instruments, learning how to collect, analyse and communicate data with confidence. You’ll build these skills where it matters most: out in the field, turning theory into practice through real-world scientific experiences.\n\n**Year 2**\nIn your second year, you’ll be introduced to specialist marine conservation concepts while continuing to expand your knowledge across the wider field of ocean science. Core marine conservation modules explore the many ways human activities affect marine ecosystems, giving you a solid scientific grounding in the challenges facing our oceans today.\n\nYou’ll also have the chance to pursue your interests through a choice of optional modules, with opportunities to study areas such as coastal oceanography, scientific diving, and more advanced hydrographic survey and mapping techniques. These modules allow you to build expertise in key areas and tailor your degree towards your future career goals.\n\n**Optional placement year**\nMany of our students choose to take an optional placement year between their second and final years, gaining invaluable hands‑on experience in real scientific environments. You can choose to complete a minimum six‑month work placement anywhere in the world, gaining practical, career‑focused experience directly linked to your studies. This is your opportunity to apply your skills in real‑world settings, explore potential career paths and build valuable professional networks that can help shape your future in the field.\n\n**Final year**\nIn your final year, you’ll bring everything together! You’ll focus on advancing your understanding of marine ecosystem conservation and marine conservation policy and management. A residential fieldtrip gives you the chance apply everything you’ve learned into a real-world setting alongside peers and expert staff.\n\nYou’ll also have the freedom to tailor your learning through optional modules, exploring cutting-edge areas such as marine pollution or biological oceanography.\n\nA major component of your final year is your research project. Working under the supervision of an academic specialist, you’ll apply the knowledge, techniques and scientific understanding you’ve developed throughout your degree to an independent piece of research, giving you the chance to explore a topic you’re passionate about and demonstrate your capabilities as an ocean scientist.\n\nFor up to date details, please refer to our website or contact the institution directly.",

You’ll learn the underpinning aspects of the physics, chemistry and biology that are critical to understanding the pivotal role played by the Earth’s oceans in our modern society. \n\nAlongside this, you’ll develop hands‑on skills using cutting-edge scientific instruments, learning how to collect, analyse and communicate data with confidence. You’ll build these skills where it matters most: out in the field, turning theory into practice through real-world scientific experiences.\n\n**Year 2**\nIn your second year, you’ll be introduced to specialist marine conservation concepts while continuing to expand your knowledge across the wider field of ocean science. Core marine conservation modules explore the many ways human activities affect marine ecosystems, giving you a solid scientific grounding in the challenges facing our oceans today.\n\nYou’ll also have the chance to pursue your interests through a choice of optional modules, with opportunities to study areas such as coastal oceanography, scientific diving, and more advanced hydrographic survey and mapping techniques. These modules allow you to build expertise in key areas and tailor your degree towards your future career goals.\n\n**Optional placement year**\nMany of our students choose to take an optional placement year between their second and final years, gaining invaluable hands‑on experience in real scientific environments. You can choose to complete a minimum six‑month work placement anywhere in the world, gaining practical, career‑focused experience directly linked to your studies. This is your opportunity to apply your skills in real‑world settings, explore potential career paths and build valuable professional networks that can help shape your future in the field.\n\n**Final year**\nIn your final year, you’ll bring everything together! You’ll focus on advancing your understanding of marine ecosystem conservation and marine conservation policy and management. A residential fieldtrip gives you the chance apply everything you’ve learned into a real-world setting alongside peers and expert staff.\n\nYou’ll also have the freedom to tailor your learning through optional modules, exploring cutting-edge areas such as marine pollution or biological oceanography.\n\nA major component of your final year is your research project. Working under the supervision of an academic specialist, you’ll apply the knowledge, techniques and scientific understanding you’ve developed throughout your degree to an independent piece of research, giving you the chance to explore a topic you’re passionate about and demonstrate your capabilities as an ocean scientist.\n\nFor up to date details, please refer to our website or contact the institution directly.",
