What is this course about?
You will be studying an exciting mix of subjects including Marine Biology, studies of rivers and lakes, ecology and zoology.
Year one involves the study of a range of Science subjects, including Computing, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, Physics and Discovering Science. Year two of this course focuses on Biology - the science of life. Biologists explore and learn how organisms are constructed and how they function. This involves the study of reproduction, growth and development and how organisms capture and use raw materials and energy. It is important for biologists to learn how organisms respond to their environment. All this knowledge is fundamental to our understanding of the natural world and its utilisation and conservation. Students who wish to study Aquaculture will be offered an elective subject in this area. GMIT has considerable experience in teaching Aquaculture - we established the first Higher Certificate course in the world in this area. Year three covers areas such as fisheries, pollution control, the environment and aquatic biology where the main activity entails the monitoring or the exploitation of the aquatic environment. |
