Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Marine Biology with Foundation Year (Optional Placement)
Program Overview
Do you have a passion to study marine biology, but lack the normal entry requirements for one of our honours degrees? Perhaps you've shown evidence of good academic potential, but don’t have sufficient qualifications or have been out of formal education for a while. This new four year degree route incorporates a foundation year, which has developed from our extended science course giving you the study skills and scientific underpinning to continue the remainder of the course with confidence.
Key Features
- Apply through UCAS and receive funding in the same way as an honours degree course.
- Study two core biology modules, one in each semester.
- Study either chemistry or physics in each semester.
- Take a core module in study and mathematical skills for life sciences to prepare you to get the most from your university studies.
- Receive support from a personal academic tutor who's one of our marine biology subject staff.
- Meet a wide range of marine biology staff in lectures and discussion sessions, gaining an introduction to their research and ‘hot topics’ in marine biology with our specialist issues in marine biology module.
- Subject to achieving an average mark of 60 per cent across 120 credits in the foundation year, you will continue your studies in one of the related degrees - marine biology, marine biology and oceanography or marine biology and coastal ecology.
- We'll guide you to the most appropriate route to meet your interests through the tutorials and discussion sessions to decide your next step.
- In Year Zero, you will be taught at the University by the same academic team as our normal degree courses and will gain the understanding and confidence needed for your future studies.
