There’s no better place to learn about the ocean than right here in Halifax Nova Scotia. You’ll venture out to the ocean both on shore and on the water. You’ll observe examples of Atlantic Canada’s spectacular marine life. You’ll get first-hand experience in various research methods like gathering live samples and collecting and assessing data. These are just a few of the advantages of studying marine biology at Dalhousie.

During your first two years you’ll take general biology courses and foundation-building science courses. In third and fourth year you’ll explore the ecology diversity physiology and other aspects of marine animals and plants in greater depth. Many marine biology students combine their studies with courses in chemistry or physics of the ocean which are offered through the Department of Oceanography.

Sample courses:

  • Marine Mammalogy
  • Deep Sea Biology
  • Introduction to Aquaculture

Marine biology students are offered a co-op education option. Students who take advantage of the co-op option will be able to complete three work terms in industry government or university laboratories or ecotourism.


Careers and future study:

Dalhousie’s marine biology program qualifies you for technical positions in government fisheries laboratories aquaculture farms and consulting firms. In the program’s field schools or in honours research courses you’ll get plenty of hands-on opportunities to explore the ocean. You’ll be prepared for the exciting challenges of a diverse range of marine-related careers. You may find yourself employed as any of the following (further study may be required):
