There are many reasons why you should consider studying marine science at Griffith University. Here are just a few.
Multi-skilling
The Bachelor of Marine Science is a challenging multi-disciplinary degree that matches the demands for core skills in science and management in the marine sector.
The design of the curriculum aims to provide a special 'cohort experience' to the students, starting with the new introductory course in the First Year.
Gain work experience
Another integral component of the undergraduate experience this degree will offer is a Marine Industry Placement that will expose the students to real world activities in fisheries, aquaculture, marine conservation, coastal management and/or coastal engineering.
Griffith University currently has close links with local and state government agencies as well as the commercial sector that will provide support for such a placement program. This training is complemented by a high proportion of problem-based learning components, such as small research projects, in the course content.
Links with local industry
Griffith University has established close links with local industries, such as Sea World, in marine research collaboration, and is dedicated to fostering further alliances between Griffith and industry partners within the Brisbane and Gold Coast corridor.
