Bachelor
Join one of humanity's greatest collective endeavours when you study a degree in science at UOW. You will work with interdisciplinary teams to explore creative solutions for our ocean's biggest issues and will learn about the physical interconnections and biotic principles that govern oceans and the societies that depend on them.
Marine Science is the study of oceanographic processes, marine life and governance in the ocean. Oceans support life at every level and are vital for the supply of food, water, and medicine, as well as for transportation and trade. Marine scientists investigate the physical and biological nature of oceans, their impact on human society, and the conservation and environmental management. Oceans are studied all the way from the coastline to the high seas, from the surface layers to the abyssal plains, covering both tropical and temperate ecosystems.
The Bachelor of Marine Science at UOW takes advantage of the diverse NSW South Coast environment, which is an ideal location to undertake specialist marine training. This setting provides substantial fieldwork opportunities in addition to the extensive laboratory-based learning you will undertake during the course.
