Course Content
Your first year equips you with core material relating to the four sub-components of marine science – physical/dynamical, chemical, biological and geological oceanography – and strengthens your fundamental maths and science capability.

The second year introduces optional modules that enable you to tailor your course to begin to specialise in one or two of the sub-components, and the third year provides you with research-led modules and a research project in the sub-component of your choice.

The modules we outline here provide examples of what you can expect to learn on this degree course based on recent academic teaching. The precise modules available to you in future years may vary depending on staff availability and research interests, new topics of study, timetabling and student demand.

Career Prospect

Given the pressures to manage, adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate and environmental change, not least changes in sea level and the risks of coastal flooding, the employability prospects for graduates trained in physical marine science, particularly well-trained practically, are high and only likely to grow.

Likely career paths include:

integrated coastal zone management
environmental management
modelling
offshore renewables
offshore hydrocarbons
offshore carbon sequestration
marine engineering
conservation and marine policy

Whatever you choose to do after graduation, your degree will stand you in good stead, with excellent employment prospects and transferable skills.
