Marine Biology, MSci (Hons), with industry placement

The UG extended MSci degree in Marine Biology with Professional Studies explores the interdisciplinary study of ocean life. As noted by NASA, oceans constitute 97% of Earth's water and 99% of its habitable space, underscoring their vital role in sustaining life. In today's world, marine biology graduates are essential for addressing critical challenges like overfishing, pollution, and climate change, which are driving profound changes in marine ecosystems. Professionals in this field employ advanced technologies to manage issues from molecular levels to entire ecosystems.The UK's territorial waters span 6.8 million km², encompassing a vast blue economy including renewable energy, oil, gas, fisheries, and minerals. Sustainable management of these resources demands expertise from skilled marine biologists. Queen's University Belfast's Marine Biology program, delivered through research-led teaching, equips students for diverse careers such as marine conservation, environmental consultancy, documentary filmmaking, wildlife tourism, fisheries management, and academia.
