海洋是地球生命生存的关键要素。地球上 97% 的水和 99% 的可居住空间都在海洋中”（来源：NASA）。
海洋生物学是对海洋生命的跨学科研究。目前，海洋生物学毕业生的地位对于我们社会、经济和环境的运作从未如此重要。过度捕捞、污染和气候变化等复杂问题相互碰撞，给海洋系统带来非同寻常、有时甚至是灾难性的变化。作为一名海洋生物学家，您将应用尖端技术来帮助解决从分子到生态系统的这些问题。
在海洋资源管理方面，英国领海面积超过 680 万平方公里（是陆地面积的十四倍多），而这一广阔区域内蕴藏着蓝色经济：海洋可再生能源、石油、天然气、鱼类、矿产和稀土金属。要以可持续的方式管理这些资源，需要经验丰富的海洋生物学家进行评估和指导。
在此背景下，女王大学（QUB）的海洋生物学学位基于研究主导的教学模式，将为学生未来从事各种职业做好准备，包括海洋保护、环境咨询、纪录片制作、野生动物旅游、渔业管理和学术研究。

Assessment
The way in which you are assessed will vary according to the Learning outcomes of each module.
Details of how each module is assessed are shown in the Student Handbook which is provided to all students during their first year induction.
An Honours degree in Marine Biology offers comprehensive training in one of the most popular environmental disciplines, and good graduates move on to pursue diverse careers at home and abroad.
Many recent graduates have secured MSc and PhD positions at leading universities in the UK, Republic of Ireland, and overseas whilst others work in secondary education or for conservation organisations and government environmental agencies.
The experience that you gain from applying the scientific approach to living organisms, solving numerical and practical problems, developing written and oral communication skills, and using a wide range of sophisticated equipment will also help you to find employment in a variety of non-biological careers.
Many employers are looking for graduates in any discipline, provided they show academic confidence, the ability to communicate, handle quantitative data, and solve problems, and have good social skills, a wide range of interests, and a record of success. We believe that studying Marine Biology at Queen's will enable you to acquire and develop these qualities.
The most generally appropriate professional bodies for graduate marine biologists are the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, the Fisheries Society of the British Isles, and the Society of Biology.
Degree Plus/Future Ready Award for extra-curricular skills
In addition to your degree program, at Queen's, you can have the opportunity to gain wider life, academic, and employability skills. For example, placements, voluntary work, clubs, societies, sports, and lots more. So not only do you graduate with a degree recognized by a world-leading university, but you'll also have practical national and international experience plus a wider exposure to life overall. We call this the Degree Plus/Future Ready Award. It's what makes studying at Queen's University Belfast special.
