Bachelor of Science - Marine Geography (F845)

The Marine Geography course explores a unique mix of physical and environmental geography. Students will study the science behind the relationship between society and the sea, and investigate global challenges like ocean acidification and rising sea levels.

South Wales has a rich and diverse marine environment including estuaries with large tidal ranges, islands thriving with wildlife, offshore renewable energy and the largest oil port in the UK in Milford Haven. Students will develop their field and boat work skills on regular trips to the Bristol Channel, the Glam organ Heritage Coast and the Gower where they will complete activities like offshore surveying, water quality monitoring, ecological mapping and beach profiling. There will also be opportunities to go on overseas trips, in the past they’ve been to Malta, Jersey and Greece.
