Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Ocean Science

A three year honours degree in ocean science, covering physical oceanography, marine chemistry and biology, survey technique, sea going fieldwork and a final year project.

The research vessel and Menai Strait marine station mean fieldwork here happens at sea rather than in a lecture theatre.

Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Ocean Science is taught at Bangor University, a public university in Wales with full degree awarding powers. Because the ocean science degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the ocean science degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the ocean science degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the ocean science degree does not support a family move.
