Key Summary

About : The Bachelor of Science in Marine Science focuses on understanding ocean ecosystems and the impact of human activities on marine environments. The program offers practical experiences and theoretical knowledge, equipping students with skills necessary for marine research and conservation efforts.

Career Outcomes : Graduates can pursue various career paths, including marine biologist, oceanographer, environmental consultant, or research scientist. They may also find opportunities in government agencies, non-profit organizations, and educational institutions, contributing to marine conservation and policy development.

Marine science integrates multiple disciplines to understand the dynamic forces that influence our oceans and how the ocean, in turn, affects us. As a marine scientist, you’ll explore rivers, estuaries, coastlines and the open sea.

You will use an array of tools to analyze ocean physics, chemistry, biology, and geology. For example, you might use buckets and nets to sample marine life or the muddy seafloor. At the same time, you might deploy state-of-the-art instrumentation to measure the tides, waves and currents. And you’ll use advanced software to analyze these datasets. You could spend your days working on the water, in the lab, behind a computer, or a combination of all three.
