Bachelor Degrees prepare students to develop broad and coherent knowledge and skills in a discipline for professional work and further learning corresponding to AQF level 7 qualifications. This course enables students to pursue their interest in science by choosing at least one science major available from the Faculty of Science and Engineering. There are opportunities for students to complete a double major for the duration of their study. Extension specialisations associated with each major are also available for students. Science specialisations are also available for students to choose Â鶹ԭ´´ their chosen major. These specialisations require pre-requisite studies at the first-year level. Students are also able to choose minors which do not have pre-requisites at first year to augment their science studies.Marine environments all around the world are increasingly vulnerable to climate change and ongoing coastal development and subsea resources extraction. Opportunities in coastal and marine science are therefore growing rapidly, with graduates sought by government, industry and non-profit organisations to help advise on how to tackle challenges and devise solutions.This major also responds to the growing need to protect Australias coastal waters, with an emphasis on marine biology, oceanographic sciences and resource management.The course is designed and delivered by staff with research expertise in fish ecology, coral reef ecology, marine pollution, seafloor mapping, sustainable fisheries and aquaculture. It has been designed with industry input, to ensure you develop scientific and marine research skills. You will be challenged to think as a marine scientist, developing your initiative and intellectual curiosity to help understand and protect the marine environment.
