Marine Biology Specialization

Individuals interested in this specialization will apply directly to Marine Biology through the Ontario Universities' Application Centre using application code  DMB.

If you're interested in applying to the Marine Biology (Co-op) specialization, apply via OUAC code  DBL.

Marine Biology is a specialization within the Biological Science program. Within the marine biology specialization, students will learn about marine ecosystems and organisms, as well as have experiential learning opportunities in the marine environment via a semester abroad* at the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences (BIOS).

*Differential fees as well as room and board will be set by and paid directly to BIOS. Program fees, housing and meals are approximately $20,000 USD.  To learn more, visit the BIOS website

BIOS is a world-renowned institute with financial support from government, corporate, and private investors. Located in Bermuda, BIOS is near to the Sargasso Sea, one of the world’s most diverse open-ocean ecosystems, and also home to some of the world’s most northern coral reefs, allowing researchers from around the globe an opportunity to study corals. Their facilities and equipment include the research vessel (R/V) Atlantic Explorer, a U.S. flagged UNOLS ocean class vessel, operated by BIOS, that provides faculty and staff—as well as visiting scientists and students—with well-equipped floating labs to support numerous scientific endeavors in the ocean environment.
