Note: Students must check the prerequisite and incompatible requirements before selecting any course within this program.

The first year of study provides both a foundation in the physical sciences and for specialised study in the marine science discipline. You will need to consider the pathway to your minor because some of the core courses for the Coastal Oceanography minor are different to meet prerequisites for later courses.

You will be able to select one of three majors (Marine Ecology, Marine Chemistry and Biotechnology, Coastal Management) each comprising 60 credit points in the second/third years and 60 credit points of listed and free choice electives. Alternatively, you may select two majors of 60 credit points courses in the second/third years. You will also complete a 20 credit point Environmental capstone course or Work Integrated Learning course in Year 3/Trimester 1 or 2.
