The Bachelor of Marine Science (Honours) takes advantage of the diverse NSW South Coast environment, which is an ideal location to undertake specialist marine training. This setting provides substantial fieldwork opportunities in addition to the extensive laboratory-based learning you will undertake during the course. The specialist marine science training, combined with a broad background in biology and geosciences, opens up a range of employment opportunities in organisations such as State Fisheries, CSIRO, museums, local councils, and environmental consultancies. Honours is built into this program in the fourth year, where you will expand your knowledge even further through targeted research, together with required seminars and coursework.

Applicants need to have achieved the required score in a qualification equivalent to the completion of 13 years of schooling in Australia. In order to succeed in your chosen course, it is assumed you have completed relevant subjects in your senior high school studies or other relevant qualifications. This is particularly important for degrees which have a strong basis in Mathematics or Science. You must be able to demonstrate skills in English to satisfy course entry requirements.
