Program overview
This is a degree that focuses on giving you practical skills in advanced marine science and technology. It is different from most other marine biology or marine science degrees as there is an additional focus on technology and its application. You'll learn from JCU's experts how to manage human impacts and preserve dynamic marine environments. Among the fascinating and very relevant core subjects and options available to you are:
Fundamentals of Biological Processes
Environmental Processes and Global Change
Marine Measurement Technology
Sensors and Sensing
Geographic Information Systems
Physical Oceanography
Functional Ecology
Chemistry of the Ocean
Marine Geology
Managing Coastal and Marine Environments
Conserving Marine Wildlife: Sea Mammals, Birds, Reptiles
Biological Oceanography
Fisheries Science.
Professional recognition
When you graduate, you will automatically become a member of the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science and Technology (IMarEST). You'll also become a Registered Marine Scientist, with the opportunity to become a Chartered Marine Scientist. As well, you will be eligible to apply for membership of professional organisations including the Australian Marine Science Association and the Australian Coral Reef Society.
