About this course

Marine biology with oceanography sits at the intersection of two disciplines that are inseparable in practice: understanding marine organisms fully requires understanding the physical and chemical environments they inhabit, and those environments are made comprehensible, in large part, by the presence of the living things that inhabit and shape them. Marine biology examines the diversity, physiology, behaviour, and ecology of organisms from bacteria and phytoplankton to whales and deep-sea invertebrates. Physical and chemical oceanography asks how water moves, how heat and salt are distributed, how carbon and nutrients cycle through the ocean, and how those processes are changing in response to human activity. At Southampton, one of the UK's leading centres for oceanographic research and home to the National Oceanography Centre, this three-year full-time programme gives you a strong fou
