University of Edinburgh

Plymouth has a unique maritime history of discovery. True to this tradition, the University of Plymouth offers world-class teaching and research in a wide spectrum of marine subjects and works closely with its partner institutions, Plymouth Marine Laboratory, the Marine Biological Association, the National Marine Aquarium, the Diving Diseases Research Centre and the Sir Alister Hardy Foundation for Ocean Science.

The Marine Institute has been formed to help consolidate the ongoing marine activities in the Faculties of Science, Technology and Social Science and Business into a coherent programme. A number of research groups and centres located in these Faculties belong to the University's Marine Institute. Our multidisciplinary Science and Technology Plan will help to offer innovative solutions to the difficult issues facing today's seas and coasts.
