Marine and Freshwater Biology (with year in industry)

About this course

Marine and freshwater biology is a branch of life science concerned with the organisms, ecosystems, and ecological processes that inhabit the world's rivers, lakes, estuaries, and oceans. These environments support some of the most threatened species and habitats on the planet, and understanding their biology and ecology is essential for conservation, fisheries management, water quality monitoring, and the assessment of climate change impacts. The discipline draws on ecology, physiology, taxonomy, oceanography, and environmental science, and is both scientifically rigorous and practically urgent. Aberystwyth University's four-year full-time BSc Marine and Freshwater Biology degree, which includes a year in industry, is one of only a few programmes nationally to provide an integrated catchment-to-ocean understanding of the biology, ecology, and stressors affecting these interconnected ec
