BSc (Hons) Морска биологија

Marine biologists are the first line of defence for our blue planet and are crucial to enhancing the ecology and environment of our oceans.

This BSc (Hons) Marine Biology degree, accredited by the Royal Society of Biology (RSB), will give you the skills you need to play your part.

With conservation projects and world-class facilities on our doorstep, Portsmouth is the perfect place to begin a career as a marine scientist.

Course highlights
