Course overview Despite advances in technology and research techniques, there still remains much to discover about the marine habitats and organisms that exist on our planet. In this degree you will explore the nature of different marine environments and the ecosystems that operate within them. In the Natural History element, the focus is very much on learning to identify different species in their wild habitats and on assessing the conservation status of both habitats and species. Field study trips will give you the opportunity to visit a range of habitats, both inland and coastal, and to apply research techniques in a practical environment.
