Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Marine Biology with Foundation Year (C16F)

Marine Biology is the study of organisms that occupy 95% of the biosphere of the planet, living in conditions ranging from the polar seas (below -2℃) to hydrothermal vents (greater than 100℃). The majority of phyla are found in the oceans; the sizes of organisms range from the smallest micro-organism on the planet to the largest invertebrates (giant squid) and mammals (blue whales).

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) Marine Biology with Foundation Year programme combines a foundation year with the three year Honours Degree to create an integrated four year programme. The programme provides an excellent introduction to studying a science subject at university and will provide students with the knowledge, skills and confidence required to study at degree-level. The programme is ideal for applicants who do not quite meet the entry requirements for the three year degree or who would benefit from further a further year’s study in relation to studying a science subject.
