Ocean Science encompasses the study of all aspects of the global marine environment, from estuaries and coasts to the deep ocean. This course involves the application of specialist scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, physics) to observe and to understand the diverse and often complex processes governing the Earth-Ocean-Atmosphere system.
This degree provides a rigorous multidisciplinary foundation together with more specialised training offered across a wide range of marine topics. We have designed this degree to provide the knowledge and skill...
Ocean Science encompasses the study of all aspects of the global marine environment, from estuaries and coasts to the deep ocean. This course involves the application of specialist scientific disciplines (biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, physics) to observe and to understand the diverse and often complex processes governing the Earth-Ocean-Atmosphere system.<br/><br/>This degree provides a rigorous multidisciplinary foundation together with more specialised training offered across a wide range of marine topics. We have designed this degree to provide the knowledge and skills needed to embark on a scientific career applied to the sea; the practical and field skills elements of this course are a particular highlight. We offer a lot of flexibility and choice in order to allow you to develop your own particular strengths and interests and move on into a wide range of careers. You are able to decide which area of Marine Science interests you most and choose modules accordingly with options in Biology, Chemistry, Geology and Physics.<br/><br/>‘Placement Year’ and International Experience Year’ options are available for this course. You will have the opportunity to fully consider these options when you have started your course at Bangor and can make an application for a transfer onto such a pathway at the appropriate time. You can find more information about these options on our website and if you have any questions, please get in touch.<br/><br/>If you don’t have the required qualifications for this degree-level course or are looking to re-enter education after time away from study, then a Foundation Year Programme might be the right choice for you.
