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.

Learn from the leaders. Study alongside leading academics whose research is shaping the contemporary environmental science field.
Build your professional networks. Benefit from industry connections through co-designed curriculum, guest lectures and seminar series, and industry-relevant projects.
Dr Yvonne Davila:The academics at UTS are really passionate about the environment and that flows through in our curriculum it's industry informed there's lots of Hands-On opportunities to do lab and field work and you can really see that their research comes through in what the students learn students get to work with enthusiastic passionate academics and researchers that are world-class and are tackling the big problems around the world
Marine Science Student: I think UTS is preparing me for what I want to do which is being a Marine scientist and preparing me well for being able to study Marine habitats and actually make a difference later on
Marine Science Student 2: Well it's all about generating knowledge and creating awareness for the public if no one knows the issues going on there is no chance of fixing it so it's really important for marine scientists to take a stand educate everyone and generate this passion for the environment

“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
