Marine biology is the study of the world’s aquatic organisms and the ecosystems they inhabit.
It is one of the most comprehensive and competitive areas of oceanography, overlapping with many other areas of study, biochemistry and microbiology.
Marine biologists study life in the oceans, and sometimes the oceans themselves. They may investigate the behaviour and physiological processes of marine species, or the diseases and environmental conditions that affect them.
They may also assess the impacts of human activities on marine life. There is a vast array of career choices students can pick from – from studying large ocean animals and what they eat to investigating environmental conditions that often affect them.
Marine biologists have distinct personalities, where they tend to be investigative individuals, which means they are curious, methodical, rational, analytical, and logical. Some of them are also artistic, meaning they’re creative, intuitive, sensitive, articulate, and expressive. Does this sound like you?
The nature of courses in marine biology program prepares highly qualified students to work in many fields including:

Marine biology is the study of theworld’s aquatic organisms and theecosystems they inhabit. It is one of the most comprehensive and competitive areas of oceanography, The nature of courses in marine biology program prepare highly qualified students to work in many fields including oceanography scientific institutes, environmental monitoring field in factories, ports and water stations, Environmental toxicology laboratories, Molecular biology of marine biology laboratories, Biotechnology of marine biology field, and Environmental Tourism field.
