You will be taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, seminars, and discussion groups, supported by practical classes and field courses. Field courses available near and far allow you to work varied habitats. Recent projects have involved sea turtle migration, whale behaviour, octopus habitat selection and oil pollution. While most projects are undertaken close to Swansea and the Gower, students have secured placements in locations such as Indonesia, the Caribbean and South Africa. In your final year you may have the chance to join an international field course in Puerto Rico or Jamaica.
