Marine Science is the area of science that deals with the study of the ocean. You will study the biological nature and capacity of oceans, their impact on human society and the conservation and environmental management of marine and coastal regions.

The Bachelor of Marine Science (Honours) (Dean's Scholar) is designed specifically for high-achieving students interested in a challenging degree leading to a career in scientific research.

Students in this program are normally required to achieve at least a Distinction average in subjects completed in a calendar year. The program has core subjects in each year plus flexible optional subjects.

Students will be invited to participate in various enrichment activities throughout the program and, after first year, to develop a close association with an appropriate member of one of the Faculty's research teams. In the final year, students undertake a substantial piece of supervised research, together with other required seminar and/or course work.
