The Bachelor of Science in Biology and Marine Biology program at the University of Southampton Malaysia provides a comprehensive exploration of the living world, spanning from molecular intricacies to entire ecosystems. Through a combination of lectures, laboratory work, and fieldwork opportunities in the UK and abroad, students gain a deep understanding of biology from multiple perspectives. This program prepares graduates for diverse careers in research, conservation, inshore fisheries, and habitat management. Students benefit from being part of the esteemed marine science community at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton (NOCS), where cutting-edge research directly influences the curriculum. With access to research vessels and boat-based fieldwork, students acquire practical experience and develop the skills needed to thrive in the field of biology and marine biology.
You'll cover topics introducing you to marine animals and plants; their ecology, taxonomy and physiology. You'll also develop an understanding of the physical and chemical oceanography of the sea supported by practicals and boat work.
Optional modules allow you study topics such as marine invertebrates or the types of macromolecule that constitute living cells.
A compulsory module covers evolutionary processes, while optional modules allow you to develop your practical skills. You can choose to carry out fieldwork in coastal ecology, learn quantitative research methods in environmental science or laboratory work in molecular biology.
Further optional modules cover topics including neuroscience, cell biology and marine vertebrates.
You'll carry out either a laboratory-based, field-based, computer-based or marine science research project. This is an opportunity for you show that you can undertake independent study.
A compulsory fieldwork module will develop your skills in shallow water biological survey techniques, using a range of methods from transect surveys to a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
Further optional modules allow you to specialise in areas such as:
