Here is what the Bachelor of Marine Biology and Climate Change qualification offered by University of Technology Sydney covers and who it is designed for.
On a warming planet, the health of the planet’s oceans is more critical than ever. The uniquely hands-on UTS Bachelor of Marine Biology and Climate Change is the only degree of its kind in the Sydney region. It responds to Australia’s ongoing investment in the future of the Blue Economy by producing graduates who can shape the future of our vital marine ecosystems.
Taught through the lens of climate change, course content spans the study of marine and aquatic environments delivered as a combination of theory, lab and fieldwork experiences.
