At Newcastle you can study professionally accredited courses which focus on engineering and biological aspects of the marine environment. All our degrees have a long and distinguished history, having been taught here for more than a century.
Covering over 70% of the Earth's surface, the global ocean has been described as the 'last true frontier'. One of the harshest environments in the world, the sea presents challenging problems for animals, vessels sailing on or under it and for fixed structures.
Both biologists and engineers are interested to learn more about the seas, to use this international resource in a responsible and environmentally sustainable way.
The School is regarded as a major European University centre for these subjects with an active research environment and excellent facilities. Our graduates are equipped with the academic and practical skills needed to respond to the changing needs of the world, and proceed to a challenging and rewarding career.
