The world’s oceans and coasts are full of amazing habitats and wildlife and they sustain many important and growing industries including shipping, tourism and renewable energy. As a marine geographer, you will have the skills and knowledge needed to keep our oceans healthy and support traditional and emerging marine industries to be sustainable.
Our Marine Geography course explores a unique mix of physical and environmental geography. You will study the science behind the relationship between society and the sea, and investigate global challenges like ocean acidification and rising sea levels.
South Wales has a rich and diverse marine environment including estuaries with large tidal ranges, islands thriving with wildlife, offshore renewable energy and the largest oil port in the UK in Milford Haven. You will develop your fieldwork skills on regular trips to places like the Bristol Channel, the Glamorgan Heritage Coast and the Gower where you will complete activities like offshore surveying, water quality monitoring, ecological mapping and beach profiling. There will also be an opportunity to go on an overseas fieldtrip. In the past we've been to Malta, Spain and Greece.
