Overview

Program Description Marine biology is the study of marine organisms, their behaviours and interactions with the environment. The marine biology major provides a wealth of experiential learning opportunities for students with a combination of wet labs, field trips and project-based courses. This program gives students the opportunity to get out of the classroom and into the sea at the Bonne Bay Marine Station or conduct their own marine project (under the watchful eyes of Memorial University's resident harp seals) at the Ocean Sciences Centre. The joint major in Marine Biology is jointly administered by the Department of Ocean Sciences and the Department of Biology. It consists of core courses in oceanography and biology, and additional courses in various science subjects. Each year Memorial offers a number of exciting field courses at the Bonne Bay Marine Station, located in Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of the province. This world-class research and teaching facility is dedicated to marine ecology studies and has laboratories, boats, a resource centre, aquarium, multimedia theatre and residence accommodations. Closer to St. John’s, with a dramatic view over Logy Bay, the Ocean Sciences Centre (OSC) is a state-of-the-art research and education facility located just 10 minutes from the main campus. The OSC has wet and analytical labs that support research on cold-ocean and deep-sea processes, aquaculture, biological oceanography, as well as marine ecology, physiology and biotechnology. Direct admission to this major is not available at the time of application. Students must complete certain first-year courses before applying to the major. Admission to the major is competitive for a limited number of spaces. Please note: Memorial University of Newfounland will have an increase in their tuition prices starting Fall 2022. Cost of tuition will be $20,000 per year, for all new Students starting in Fall 2022 and later. The current prices are valid only for the January 2022 and May 2022 Intakes.
