How Long Does It Take to Study Marine Biology?

AI Thread Summary
Studying marine biology typically requires a significant time investment, with a Bachelor of Science in biology taking about four years, followed by a PhD in marine biology, which can take around six years. This totals approximately eleven years of education. Resources such as the Q&A from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography provide additional insights into pursuing a career in this field. Additionally, engaging with multimedia content, like underwater drone footage, can enhance understanding and interest in marine biology.

Hi I want to study marine biology. I just want to know how long does it take to study this field
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Ummm. It depends? If you get a B.S. in bio (4 years), then do a marine biology PhD at somewhere like Scripps marine institute (6ish years?) then 11ish years total.

Where are you at in your education?

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
