Life first emerged in the ocean and has spread throughout this dynamic environment. The distribution, growth and success of marine organisms is affected by the interaction of biological, chemical and physical processes operating in the ocean.

You will study the interaction between the biology of marine organisms, the composition and properties of seawater and the physical processes operating in the oceans.

There is a strong emphasis on marine  sustainability and ecosystem management, marine biogeochemistry, the climate system and numerical skills. Training at sea, in the field, and in the laboratory in Years One, Two and Three will provide you with the essential skills required to be a successful marine scientist including practical experience of data collection and processing, analysis and interpretation.

Programme in detail

Throughout the three-year programme, core modules in marine biology and ocean sciences will provide you with observational, analytical and numerical skills. You will also have a choice of optional modules from within the School of Environmental Science and the School of Life Sciences.

In the final year, you will take advanced modules in an area of interest, and spend a large amount of time working on a research project in either marine biology, ocean sciences or a topic that combines the two disciplines.

The degree in Marine Biology with Oceanography at Liverpool is accredited by the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMAREST).

Fieldwork opportunities

A number of the School’s degree programmes involve laboratory and fieldwork. The 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.

Students go on week-long residential field courses in each year of study. We also make the most of the unrivalled diversity of marine ecosystems in our local area which include estuaries, mudflats, restored and commercial docks, sandy shores and dune systems and rocky coasts which can be visited on whole-day and half-day trips.

Why this subject?

Be part of a group whose world-leading research is helping to tackle today’s greatest environmental challenges

Our multidisciplinary research is helping organisations such as the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea to develop sustainable management plans.

Bring your studies to life with laboratory and field teaching

Fieldwork for our Oceans Sciences degree programmes takes place in local coastal waters and elsewhere in the UK (for example we currently run field classes in North Wales and off the west coast of Scotland). Time spent in laboratory and in the field varies considerably depending on which program you are registered on. We consider applications from prospective students with disabilities on the same basis as all other students, and reasonable adjustments will be considered to address barriers to access.

Benefit from our excellent facilities and partnerships

Our unique partnership with the Marine Biological Association allows us access to their specialist staff, laboratories and research vessel. We also have close links with the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), based in Liverpool and access to custom-built remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs), and the award-winning Central Teaching Laboratories (CTL).

Be inspired by our culture of research excellence in a friendly environment

Project work, carried out within the research groups, will allow you to use research equipment and the latest techniques.

Apply for summer internships and placements

A number of paid summer internships are offered, working alongside an academic in the University, at the NOC or elsewhere. These present a great opportunity to develop data analysis and modelling skills that will help you achieve your future employment or study ambitions.
