Marine Biology

About this course

Marine biology is the scientific study of life in the world's oceans, seas and coastal environments, encompassing organisms from microscopic plankton to the largest whales, and the ecosystems in which they exist. The discipline draws on ecology, physiology, biochemistry, genetics and oceanography to understand how marine life functions, how it is distributed across the oceans, and how it responds to environmental pressures. Climate change, pollution and unsustainable fishing are among the most pressing challenges facing marine ecosystems, and marine biologists are central to understanding and addressing them. At the University of Salford, this three-year programme gives you a systematic understanding of key aspects of the marine environment, including its animal and plant communities, as well as a detailed insight into the industries and human systems that interact with it.
