    Entry recommendations

    To be prepared for this course, it helps to have:

    • an interest in the ocean and marine life
    • a curious mind for how living things work
    • patience for fieldwork and lab work
    • good observation skills

    What will you learn?

    Successful completion leads into the second year of a marine science degree. That degree looks at marine environments and the industries that depend on them, often through practical fieldwork. The package usually takes about three years full time. Entry into the second year can depend on the major chosen, so check the details with the provider.
