Why marine science at the ANU?
Situated in the nation's capital, the Australian National University is near Australia's foremost marine research and management agencies, such as Geoscience Australia, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry and the Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts.
As active partners in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, CRC Landscape Environments and Mineral Exploration and Consortium of Marine Geoscience Institutions, we have direct access to some of the most advanced experimental and analytical equipment in the country and a wealth of government and university-based marine expertise - creating unparalleled opportunities for collaboration and employment.
Study & employment options
Undergraduate and postgraduate options for studying marine science at the ANU provide the most comprehensive interdisciplinary training of its kind in Australia. Drawing on diverse expertise in the biological, chemical and physical sciences, our members provide a global perspective on marine science through field, laboratory and modeling approaches. Our activities also cover a wide range of marine ecosystems, including the open ocean, deep sea, mangroves, coral and rocky reefs, and polar environments. Our overall aim is to equip students with the skills necessary to understand and monitor interactions between the oceans, atmosphere, biosphere and geosphere.
We offer a full range of undergraduate courses in the fields of marine biology, chemistry, geology and physics as part of our undergraduate degrees (Bachelor of Global & Ocean Science and Bachelor of Marine Science). Our academics also have a similarly diverse range of graduate research degree opportunities.
By working closely with the employers of our graduates, we tailor our undergraduate and postgraduate training to provide the most relevant and up-to-date skills in marine science. Our unique interdisciplinary graduates are highly sought after by government agencies and national consultancy firms, who often require staff capable of tackling the multifaceted issues facing our marine environments.
