BSc (Hons) Marine Biology and Coastal Ecology

"Living next to the sea in Plymouth also completely contrasts living next to the mountains in Munich. For me, moving to England meant moving to the seaside, which is a positive experience. For someone who is fascinated by life in the sea, it was an easy choice.”
