Masters Degrees in Marine Zoology
We have 25 Masters Degrees in Marine Zoology
Masters degrees in Marine Zoology provide advanced study of animals—including fish, invertebrates, and mammals—in seawater environments. Many programmes also address broader issues related to marine climates and habitats, including conservation, development, and the impacts of climate change.
These programmes are often interdisciplinary, incorporating aspects of Aquaculture, Oceanography, and Marine Biology. Entry requirements typically include an undergraduate degree in Biology, Animal Science, or Environmental Studies.
Why study a Masters in Marine Zoology?
This degree will enhance your vocational skills in lab-based activities such as experiment design, bioimaging, and electron microscopy. You'll also engage in fieldwork, using survey and sampling techniques to study marine life in various tropical and temperate environments, sometimes in remote or indigenous areas.
By employing techniques in genetics and taxonomy, you will build academic knowledge to identify and trace the origins and evolution of various marine species while analysing marine biodiversity. Additionally, you will explore numerous issues through various cultural frameworks, such as sustainability and ethical principles.
Experience in this field can prepare you for diverse roles beyond the traditional Marine Zoologist position. You could work with charities and agencies on marine conservation projects, become involved in legislation for NGOs, or even pursue more specialised careers such as paleozoology.
