Bachelor of Marine Science - Marine Chemistry and Biotechnology (1328) (059729E)

Program Description Students will address and manage complex issues to ensure that marine industries prosper sustainably in healthy marine ecosystems. Graduates will be equipped to tackle problems that affect 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.

Students will be offered a marine industry placement, through the Industry Affiliates Program and/or a capstone experience that will expose them to professional activities in fisheries, aquaculture, marine conservation, coastal management and/or coastal engineering.

In first year, students will take core courses that provide the necessary foundations in the basic sciences. In second and third years, they focus on their chosen area of specialisation.
