Swansea was one of the first universities in the world to offer a single honours undergraduate degree in Marine Biology. The course is highly practical and fieldwork based. This programme has been accredited by the Royal Society of Biology following an independent and rigorous assessment. Accredited degree programmes contain a solid academic foundation in biological knowledge and key skills, and prepare graduates to address the needs of employers. You will be assessed through a variety of methods, including examinations, coursework and a practical research project. As scientists in training you will be taught a full range of core skills and practises by leading experts that will enable you to successfully pursue a career within biology and ecology.
