The study of Marine and Freshwater Biology is more relevant than ever before. Aquatic habitats are of huge importance in regulating the health of the global ecosystem and at the same time are profoundly impacted by rapid environmental change. The aim of this programme is to deliver state-of-the-art, research-led teaching on the biological, ecological and evolutionary processes underlying both marine and freshwater ecosystems. Our teaching is guided by the most recent advances in genetics, molecular methods, data collection and quantitative analyses to form a solid background in conservation of marine and freshwater ecosystems. Our Marine and Freshwater Biology degree has extensive course sharing with the Zoology degree programme in terms of critical skills that are necessary for any future career and animal biology more specifically, but also includes more specialised courses related to aquatic environments.  This means that there are a wide range of career options available related to both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The skills, knowledge and credentials of our Marine and Freshwater Biology graduates enable them to access and excel at a wide range of job types, such as: environmental consulting, academic research, education, science photography and film making, science journalism,  conservation, environmental impact assessment, aquaria management/keeping, business, museum curation, lab managers/technicians, and various industries.
