Diploma of Science (092487K) +Bachelor of Marine Science (059729E)

The Diploma of Science will provide students with a solid understanding of the natural and physical sciences, including fundamental theoretical and practical principles of chemistry, biology, genetics; and for some pathways, environmental science. Their study is enhanced by additional interactive workshops and language development modules to build the communication skills they need for success in science industries.

Graduate will also gain the necessary computational skills for scientific practice across observation, analysis and problem solving. The program will prepare them for further studies in a broad range of areas including biomedicine, environmental sustainability, chemistry and physical sciences, marine, wildlife and microbiology.

As a student candidates will address and manage complex issues to ensure that marine industries prosper sustainably in healthy marine ecosystems. They will be equipped to tackle problems that affect our oceans, tourism, fisheries and food production, climate change, maritime pollution and waste management.

With cutting-edge teaching and research strengths, Griffith University is an ideal location to study marine science. Located within easy access to a variety of extensive natural and artificial waterways, iconic surf beaches and the diverse wetlands and coastal biodiversity of Moreton Bay, the Gold Coast is the perfect natural laboratory.
