This new four year degree route incorporates a foundation year, which has developed from our extended science course giving you the study skills and scientific underpinning to continue the remainder of the course with confidence.
Apply through UCAS and receive funding in the same way as an honors degree course.
Study two core biology modules, one in each semester.
Study either chemistry or physics in each semester.
Take a core module in study and mathematical skills for life sciences to prepare you to get the most from your university studies.
Receive support from a personal academic tutor who's one of our marine biology subject staff.
Meet a wide range of marine biology staff in lectures and discussion sessions, gaining an introduction to their research and ‘hot topics’ in marine biology with our specialist issues in marine biology module.
Subject to achieving an average mark of 60 per cent across 120 credits in the foundation year, you will continue your studies in one of the related degrees - marine biology, marine biology and oceanography or marine biology and coastal ecology.
We'll guide you to the most appropriate route to meet your interests through the tutorials and discussion sessions to decide your next step.
In Year Zero, you will be taught at the University by the same academic team as our normal degree courses and will gain the understanding and confidence needed for your future studies.
Entry Requirement
Academic Requirements:
UCAS tariff

The foundation year is intended for higher-level motivated students who wish to study marine biology, who have already achieved Level 3 qualifications but do not meet the usual entry criteria for entry to the first year of our honours degree courses in marine biology, marine biology and oceanography or marine biology and coastal ecology.
A limited number of places are available and applicants will only be considered if they can provide suitable evidence of qualifications already achieved, together with strong relevant interests or experience appropriate to marine biology.’ Applications from mature students are especially welcomed; other qualifications and professional experience will be considered. An interview is normally required.
For applicants with A levels at least 96 points from a minimum of two A levels including biology and a second science is normally required. BTEC Diploma (112 points) and comparable international qualifications at an appropriate level and with relevant subjects will also be considered.
GCSE mathematics and English language at grade C or above is normally required.
All applicants are normally interviewed prior to a formal offer being made.
Applications from mature students are especially welcomed; other qualifications and professional experience will be considered. Please contact us to discuss your options.
BTEC National Diploma modules
If you hold a BTEC qualification it is vital that you provide our Admissions team with details of the exact modules you have studied as part of the BTEC. Without this information we may be unable to process your application quickly and you could experience significant delays in the progress of your application to study with us. Please explicitly state the full list of modules within your qualification at the time of application.
Please contact us to enquire about your suitability for admission.
