Throughout the Biotechnology (Marine Sciences) MPhil, PhD programme from Newcastle University you'll explore biotechnology research in marine sciences.

Doctoral students at the Department of Aquatic Resources at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences work with issues such as how changes in climate and environment affect fish and fisheries, population and ecosystem dynamics and invasive species.

Marine Science at the University of Liverpool focus on all aspects of the marine system, from the physics of how the ocean moves across the planet, the chemistry of micronutrients and pollutants, through to the biology of single cells phytoplankton all the way to marine mammals.

The Marine Sciences programme offered by University of Gothenburg develops advanced research expertise in marine environments, ocean processes, and marine ecosystems.

The Marine Geology programme offered by Stockholm University develops advanced research expertise in sedimentary processes and environmental reconstructions of marine and lacustrine systems.

The Aquaculture programme offered by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona develops advanced research expertise in sustainable aquatic production, organism health, and aquatic food systems.

Conduct research at the cutting edge of the discipline, working alongside a team of specialist academic advisors with the Published Works in Marine Science course from University of Plymouth.

The Earth and Marine Science Programme at University of Ferrara is aiming at providing high qualified scientific competences in Earth and Marine Science: mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, paleontology, geomorphology, physical oceanography, coastal dynamics, marine geology, economic geology and geophysics. 

The University of Stirling is a global leader in aquaculture research and teaching, supporting the development of aquaculture worldwide. It offers this PhD in Aquatic Veterinary Studies.

The Tropical Marine Biology (Integrated) program from University of Essex provides a route into research study if you do not have a Masters degree, or have very little research training. It enables you to spend your first year completing a full-time Masters-level qualification, followed by a full-time PhD studied over 3-4 years or a part-time PhD studied over 6-7 years.

The PhD in Maritime Science and Technology at University of Plymouth is a research-intensive program designed to advance knowledge in the fields of maritime and marine engineering, maritime safety, sustainability, and emerging technologies in the maritime sector. 

We offer supervision in all areas of staff expertise in marine biology including community ecology of coral reef systems, tropical seagrass beds, mangroves and fisheries, deep sea/marine connectivity, ocean acidification and macronutrient cycling during the Marine Biology programme at University of Essex.

Doctoral students in Animal Science and Fisheries at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn will gain specialist knowledge and skills, including state-of-the-art techniques and research methodologies that can be used in PhD projects.

Choose to carry out your Marine Sciences postgraduate studies at University of Hull and become part of a vibrant, forward-thinking research community. We offer MSc by Thesis and PhD opportunities and we have a network of exceptional research opportunities. An MSc by Thesis is a postgraduate degree option with more research freedom than the more conventional taught pathways.

The Marine Microbiology program at the International Max Planck Research School of Marine Microbiology (IMPRS MarMic) teaches students to take an interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of marine prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbiology, offering training in physiology, ecology, evolution, molecular biology, bioinformatics, and other related subjects.
