海洋生物学学士专注于海洋环境如何运作以及如何对其进行更好的管理。它以实践和现场为重点，让学生学习重要的概念和技能。该课程使学生对海洋和水生环境中的生活有透彻的了解，掌握学习技巧，并能够发现和评估对海洋环境的不利影响，例如气候变化，污染，修复和人力资源使用。学生通过理论，现场和实验室经验的结合来学习这些技能和概念。在本课程的后半部分进行的实地考察特别重视通过亲身体验环境实践理论，知识和学习的机会。
Become a professional with the skills to understand, investigate and promote the future of our planet and marine ecosystems.Marine ecosystems are highly diverse, fascinating and critical, as they supply about half the oxygen we breathe and absorb humanity’s greenhouse gases. In this course, the only degree of its kind in Sydney, you’ll learn to investigate, understand, and protect our invaluable marine environments under the increasing impacts of climate change. You’ll cutting-edge technologies and develop traditional and analytical methods, preparing you to assess and respond to the impacts of climate change on these life-sustaining environments.Learning from experts, you’ll access leading environmental research and institutions, such as the Climate Change Cluster (C3). Plus, with hands-on and field opportunities in NSW and the Great Barrier Reef, this program will prepare you for a meaningful, rewarding career.In this degree, you'll undertake eight foundational science subjects designed to give you a comprehensive foundational science knowledge in biology, chemistry and the natural world. You'll then commence your major studies, building your specialised knowledge of marine biology and climate change, including coral reef and aquatic ecosystems, the impacts of climate change and environmental protection and management.
