Posted	Laura : Marine biology
05-03-2006 18:48 by johnlakehouse	hello laura i read that you are are or have studdied marine biology im currently at collage and am thinking of taking it at uni is it a good subject and is it quiet challenging . could you outline some of the areas which are studdied
05-03-2006 22:20 by laura	Hello there! I did a 3 year honours degree in marine biology. It covers lots of different topics. For example my first year I did subjects such as genetics, microbiology, statistics, then second year marine ecosystems and more detail about the marine organisms themselves. Final year was all about human impacts on the marine environment, you do your own research project. The first year is far more broad than the others which gives u the chance to swap courses if you aren't happy. I hope that helps!

06-03-2006 12:34 by laura	Indeed! But unfortunately most marine biology degrees do not have an emphasis on aquariums and associated fish. Is is all dolphins and whales much to my dismay!
