ProviderThe University of Western AustraliaWhat makes the Bachelor of Marine Science and Master of Oceanography at UWA different is our location along the expansive Western Australian coastline. We have access to pristine rocky reefs and beaches along the South Coast to the coral reefs of the Pilbara and Kimberley regions. This diversity creates an excellent living laboratory for studying marine science and oceanography. This course is structured as a four-year accelerated Combined Bachelor and Master program for those with an ATAR of 90 or above.
In your first three years, you'll complete the Marine Science (Extended Major) and a semester of postgraduate study. This extended major will expose you to the full breadth of the marine science discipline, allowing deeper understanding of both the physical and biological components through the Marine Biology and Coastal Processes majors.
You'll then complete a final year of postgraduate study in the Master of Oceanography The master's component has core units that seek to ensure that you'll develop strong interdisciplinary knowledge and technical skills to take advantage of diverse career opportunities in government, industry, consultancies and research institutions.
