Directly under the Ministry of Education, it is a national key construction university of 2 1 1 Project and 985 Project. The school was formerly known as National Guangdong University, and later renamed as "National Sun Yat-sen University" and "National First Sun Yat-sen University". Great men come first, mountains are high and waters are long. Sun Yat-sen University, located at the forefront of China's reform and opening up, gained popularity and sowed the seeds of ideas. Today, all middle-aged people and adults are working hard to build our school into a world-class university!

Marine science graduates should have the following knowledge and ability:

1. Master the basic theories and knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry;

2. Master the basic theories and knowledge of marine science and have the basic ability to engage in marine investigation and research;

3. Understand the general principles and knowledge of similar majors;

4. Familiar with national marine science and technology policies, intellectual property rights, safety regulations and other relevant policies and regulations;

5. Understand the development trend of marine science and be able to follow the international research direction of marine science;

6. Master the basic methods of information inquiry, document retrieval and obtaining relevant information by using modern information technology; Have the ability to design experiments, create experimental conditions, summarize, sort out and analyze experimental results, write papers and participate in academic exchanges.

From the professional point of view, graduates majoring in marine science are suitable for marine resources investigation, development and utilization, environmental protection, aquaculture, marine and other work.

Affairs management, new marine technology, marine scientific research departments and environmental protection departments; Chemical experiments and chemical research in chemical industry, petroleum, geology, aquatic products and transportation departments; Investigation and research on marine sediments, marine structures and minerals, coastal dynamic landforms, estuaries, coastal zones and marine geology; Comprehensive interpretation of geological exploration data in petroliferous basins; Engineering geological exploration of estuaries, coastal zones and marine environment, marine survey and forecast work of meteorological bureau, oceanic administration system, transportation, military and other departments, and environmental assessment work of environmental protection departments; To provide analysis and research work of marine hydrological data for the design and installation of offshore oil platforms for the petroleum sector; Investigation, resource development and utilization of biological essence in harbor, estuary, offshore, shallow sea and deep sea: you can engage in scientific and technological information work related to general biology, general oceanography and marine biology; Can engage in biological research related to marine agriculture, animal husbandry and aquaculture; Can be engaged in comprehensive utilization of salt field and salt lake and biological work of salt field; You can also engage in scientific research, teaching, technology development and management. The key areas of employment are marine transportation, marine fishery, marine oil and gas industry, coastal tourism, seawater utilization, marine pharmacy, marine health care product development, sea salt and salinization industry, marine service industry, marine energy power generation, seawater chemical element extraction, marine mining industry and emerging marine space utilization. Oceanography is a very extensive industry, with a wide range of employment fields, which requires multidisciplinary talents. As a graduate of marine science, I have certain professional advantages. At the same time, the employment fields of marine science graduates can also cover many other industries, such as atmospheric science, geological exploration, meteorological work, general biology teaching in related schools, electronic technology industry and so on. Because marine science itself is a very extensive discipline.
