About this course

Marine biology and oceanography together provide a comprehensive scientific understanding of the ocean and the organisms that inhabit it. Oceanography examines the physical and chemical properties of the sea, including its currents, waves, tides, temperature gradients, and the ocean-atmosphere interactions that drive global climate. Marine biology studies the extraordinary diversity of life that the sea supports, from microscopic plankton and coastal invertebrates to deep-sea fish and large marine mammals, examining the physiology, ecology, and behaviour of marine organisms and the ecosystems they form. Together, the two disciplines offer an integrated view of the marine environment that is essential for conservation, fisheries management, and understanding how the ocean will respond to climate change. The University of Plymouth offers this three-year full-time Marine Biology and Oceano
