Overview

The Marine Biology at Marche Polytechnic University allows to increase the knowledge of the biology and ecology of marine organisms and habitats, their health status and changes occurring in the marine environment.

Key facts

The course aims to train experts in the management of marine environments and in the conservation of biodiversity and marine biological resources, developing skills related to the assessment, monitoring and recovery of marine species and habitats, including the application of “ecological restoration” protocols to recover degraded marine environments, aimed at improving the Blue Growth sector.

The course allows students to acquire the most up-to-date methodologies to study marine biodiversity, to carry out sampling activities at sea, laboratory analyses and statistical data processing. Students will have the opportunity to gain experience through on-field activities (e.g., sampling activities in coastal waters, scientific scuba diving and educational trips in protected areas, also abroad), and therefore to acquire tools and advanced skills necessary to start the profession of Marine Biologist.
