Protect the species and ecosystems that hold the key to our planet’s survival
Environment and Marine
Get your boots muddy — or your feet wet — with leading degrees in environmental and marine biology. You’ll combine extensive fieldwork experience with support from leading environmental practitioners, preparing you to lead the way in an uncertain climate future.
Our Environment and Marine courses combine general science subjects with specialist study in areas such as aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, plant physiology, biodiversity conservation, wildlife management and environmental protection, among others. Depending on your choice of degree, you’ll also build highly practical skills in areas like urban resilience, geographic information systems and remote sensing.
These degrees will prepare you to work at the forefront of environmental protection and remediation where qualified scientists are more in demand than ever.

“Growing up I was always in nature and have always loved the ocean. When it came time to choose a course, I wanted to do something that would allow me to work on my feet, outdoors and in an area that was interesting to me. Marine biology at UTS was the perfect course. Highlights of my course have been the Heron Island Field trip and my internship at Sea Life.”
-Lauren, Marine biology student
“I choose to study environmental science at UTS because of the great facilities and the opportunity to undertake four internships as part of my degree. I have always been passionate about conservation, sustainability, and science so environmental science is the perfect course for me.”
-Emma, Environmental science student
