Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Ocean Science (Optional Placement Year)

Program Overview

We place a particular emphasis on developing knowledge and skills, including field, lab and computer-based techniques, of direct relevance to industry, particularly in relation to issues such as future climate change, sea level rise, marine pollution, and exploitation of marine renewable energy.

Situated next to the Menai Strait and Irish Sea, our location provides a rich context to your studies. You will observe the ocean and seabed on our £3.5 million ocean-going research ship, using state-of-the-art technology and sub-sea instruments in its onboard laboratories. Local fieldwork on the coasts and in the estuaries of North Wales will link climate change with coastal erosion, flood risk and water quality. You will also join field trips to Eryri National Park (also known as Snowdonia) and the UNESCO designated GeoMôn Global Geopark – one of the world’s top 100 geosites.
