Marine Science

About this course

Marine science is the study of the ocean in all its dimensions, from the physical and chemical processes that govern ocean circulation and climate to the biology of the organisms that inhabit marine environments, and the geological structures of the seafloor. It is an inherently interdisciplinary field, requiring students to draw on oceanography, ecology, chemistry, physics and geography in order to understand a system that covers more than seventy per cent of the Earth's surface. The ocean regulates climate, produces oxygen, supports fisheries that feed billions of people, and contains ecosystems of extraordinary complexity and fragility. At the University of the Highlands and Islands you will study marine science across four years of full-time study, in a setting that offers unique proximity to some of the most ecologically significant coastal and oceanic environments in Europe.
