Overview
Most of life on Earth exists in the oceans. This programme integrates marine biology with oceanography, examining how organisms interact with dynamic physical and chemical environments, and developing the knowledge and skills needed to address pressing marine and climate challenges. Life began in the oceans, and marine ecosystems remain central to understanding our planet. This programme explores how marine life is shaped by the interaction of biological, chemical and physical processes, from microscopic plankton to large marine predators. You will study how organisms, populations and ecosystems respond to environmental drivers such as temperature, nutrients and food availability, as well as the impacts of climate change and human activity. Alongside this, you will develop the practical and analytical skills needed to investigate marine environments, including data collection, analysis and communication to a range of audiences. At Liverpool, you will benefit from hands-on learning throughout your degree, with fieldwork, laboratory training and opportunities for work at sea. With a focus on sustainability, marine biogeochemistry and the climate system, this programme prepares you for careers in marine science, environmental consultancy and beyond. A number of the School’s degree programmes involve laboratory and field work. Fieldwork is carried out in various locations, ranging from inner city to coastal and mountainous environments. We consider applications from prospective disabled students on the same basis as all other students, and reasonable adjustments will be considered to address barriers to access. Our degree is one of only a handful in the UK to be accredited by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMAREST),opening upopportunities for students and graduates of our programmes. IMarEST - The Institute of Maring Engineering, Science and Techonology - is the international professional body for all marine professionals. We’ve been awarde
