Experience
Benefit from fieldwork, near and far
At ¾«Æ·ÎÞÂë¹ú²ú×Ô²ú, you’ll go beyond the classroom, applying theory to real-world research through local and international field trips.
From the diverse coastline of the South West to global destinations, you'll explore marine ecosystems firsthand, gaining invaluable experience that enhances both your degree and career prospects.
The skills you gain from fieldwork are highly sought after by employers and can include:
- data and sample collection and analysis in varied marine habitats
- experience using scientific equipment and technology
- scientific writing and reporting, preparing you for careers in research and conservation
- teamwork in challenging and dynamic field conditions
- problem-solving in real-world ecological research
"One of the things we try and emphasise is the catchment level approach and the fact that there are linkages between what happens up here (on Dartmoor) and what happens in the marine environment."
The years I spent at the University were some of the best of my life, both personally and ‘professionally’. The quality and diversity of the content taught is really good, but it’s the people that have made my experience incredible. I learnt from some of the best researchers in the field, passionate about their work and teaching, always there to push and encourage you to follow your passion and try new things, as well as from the other equally passionate students with whom I made some of the strongest friendships to date.

Facilities to support your learning
We have a selection of cutting edge facilities to enhance your experience and provide the best learning environment
Situated on the shores of ¾«Æ·ÎÞÂë¹ú²ú×Ô²ú Sound as part of our waterfront campus, the
Marine Station
offers labs and classrooms extending out into the natural environment. It is also the base for our research vessels and a centre of excellence for diving.
Our fleet of boats
Practical sessions, individual project work and research all benefit from our fleet of research vessels.
Specilist labs
Wet laboratory for sample examination and analysis.
I learnt so much on my course, everything from practical skills conducting ecological surveys in the field, taxonomic knowledge of marine organisms through to data analysis and report writing. I also had the opportunity to learn skills in commercial diving, power boating, first aid and sea survival, which I wouldn’t have had the chance to undertake had I chosen to study my undergraduate degree at another university.

Expand your horizons with a research expedition
Research Expeditions offer the chance to assist our expert researchers in the field, both locally and internationally.
Unlike course-based field trips, these expeditions span diverse disciplines, allowing students to choose a project that aligns with their interests while gaining hands-on research experience and valuable skills.
Previously students have ...
- taken part in cetacean surveys aboard the University yacht, Take The Helm, between ¾«Æ·ÎÞÂë¹ú²ú×Ô²ú and the Isles of Scilly
- carried out assessments of south west UK fish nurseries, catching, identifying and measuring juvenile fish in a number of key estuary sites
- spent two-weeks on a field course in North Sulawesi (Bunaken and Bangka islands) where they learned about the biodiversity of coral reefs and how to monitor them
- enjoyed a week in the Azores, colecting data to assess the relative abundance of different colour forms of Clouded Yellow butterflies.
I felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to be taught about coral reefs by experts while directly observing the reef. I don't think many learning experiences can top that.
Hop aboard the University's own yacht, Take the Helm, and discover what it's like to take part in a four-day marine mammal survey.
Our coast surveys perform an important function, gathering much needed data to help us understand thethreats

Why you should do a placement
While we can equip you with as much hands-on experience and opportunity to put theory into practice as possible, a placement can provide you with that little bit extra to make you stand out from the crowd.
Our students have taken part in placements all over the world; they have helped to further research, worked on specialist projects, protected fragile marine environments and developed HSE diving skills. Some have used the experience to help them decide on a career path and many been offered graduate employment with their placement organisations.
Where will your work placement take you...?
I think that the human aspect of a placement year, which allows you to grow and mature, is just as important as the professional skills you acquire. Get out there, learn about marine biology topics, learn about yourself, and come back to uni with a better idea of who you are and where you are heading!
