这是一个为期四年的课程。在头三年中，您将按照以下其中一种课程学习适当的BSc学位课程结构：海洋生物学和动物学BSc。在第2年末，只要获得令人满意的成绩，您就可以继续学习BSc课程的第3年并继续进行第4年的专业课程。在四年级中，您将进行大量研究，构成了四年级论文。您将能够在工作人员的研究小组中工作，并将获得在研究环境中工作的宝贵研究经验。
This is a 4-year course designed specifically for students who want to gain a really in-depth understanding of the subject. During the first three years, you will follow an same degree course structure as for Marine Biology and Zoology BSc. At the end of Year two, providing a satisfactory mark has been obtained, you continue with Year three of the BSc course and proceed to a 4th year specialised course. In the fourth year you will carry out a substantial piece of research which forms your final year dissertation. You will be able to work in a staff member's research group and will gain valuable research experience of working in a research environment.<br>The Marine Biology element of this course covers animals, seaweeds, plants and microbial life in the seas and their interactions. The Zoology element covers all animals whether on land or in water. This degree therefore gives a wide overview of the diversity of animal life and ecosystems on this planet, ranging from the mountains to the deep sea trenches. On this course you will learn how interactions between animals and their environments apply equally to marine, terrestrial and freshwater habitats. You will be introduced to the fundamentals of biology, ecology, and evolution of marine organisms and all animal groups. We also cover more applied aspects such as aquaculture and fisheries, parasitology and immunology.<br>Placement Year and International Experience Year Available<br><br>Careers<br>This course is ideal preparation for a career in research. The fourth year project will allow you to gain experience of working in a research environment and prepare you for a PhD and research career.
