Course overview
The planet cannot survive without its oceans. Our mission is to nurture and train you as a marine zoologist with the skills to solve global challenges. Youll enjoy a unique experience at Newcastle University and develop the skills and knowledge for a successful career.
A career in Marine Zoology is perfect if you are passionate about the environment, love the ocean, want to make a difference in the world and are driven to stand out in a competitive industry.
You will address key challenges including:
- loss of marine biodiversity
- marine conservation
- genetics
- cellular and sub-organism processes
- adaptations of marine organisms to their environment
Youll explore a variety of marine animals from the diverse aquatic ecology of the North Sea to overseas ecosystems. Youll also investigate animal behaviour in the wild, which requires time at sea with close observation.
You'll have access to outstanding facilities. Youll be out at sea on our research vessel, the Princess Royal and conducting practical workshops at our coastal laboratory, the Dove Marine Laboratory. Youll investigate out in the field and analyse findings in the lab, putting theory into practice.
