The oceans provide us with key resources. This degree aims to provide graduates with a broad understanding of the fundamental aspects of the biology of life as well as more specialised aspects such as fisheries, marine animal behaviour, conservation genetics and marine pollution. Students will visit a range of local habitats and have the option to go overseas to undertake field work on a tropical coral reef. The degree will culminate in their dissertation. Graduates will be equipped with relevant and evidenced competency in the application of marine biology to practical settings, providing access to a wide range of employment opportunities or postgraduate level study. At Chester students will be taught a broad degree with subjects from genetics to biodiversity, physiology to marine impacts. Staff have both national and international research, industry and consultancy experience, and use this to inform their teaching. The department is friendly with an open door policy and uses a variety of teaching methods to assist students with all learning needs, students appreciate the sense of community. All students will be assigned a personal academic tutor who will support them throughout their degree.
