Southampton is one of the leading experts in this field.

Southampton's definitely the first one that comes to mind since it's the home of the National Oceanography Centre and one of the leading universities in the world for the subject. I think Liverpool's also good for Marine Biology since there's an NOC branch there too.
Do you live near the sea now? presumably volunteering with a 'friends of' group e.g. http://www.deeestuary.co.uk/hilbre/vwork.htm or taking part in a coastal wildlife survey would look good on your PS

i have been to liverpool's ecology department and it was excellent so i suspect it's marine biology bit would be aswell :smile: i believe hull is also good for ecology and biology related things :h:
In your case Southampton's is the best))
Hi! My son is doing A level French, Spanish, Biology, Chemistry & Marine Science. He has been advised to give up Marine Science. (We live in Spain by the sea & my son sailed for 7 years and has his PADI) He is considering a degree in Marine Biology. I know Marine Science is not a facilitating subject but he enjoys it! Is it worth doing? Thanks!

Entry requirements vary but I think it's fine to keep Marine Science as long as he drops either French or Spanish - he definitely should not drop Biology or Chemistry.
