Ph.D. in Aquatic Biology is a research-driven program that focuses on the study of organisms and ecosystems in aquatic environments, including freshwater and marine habitats. Typically lasting 3-5 years, the program covers areas such as aquatic ecology, marine biology, limnology, conservation biology, and the impacts of climate change and pollution on aquatic life. Students engage in original research on topics like biodiversity, aquatic food webs, aquatic conservation, water quality, and the role of aquatic organisms in ecosystem services. Graduates pursue careers in academia, environmental research, conservation agencies, governmental bodies, or industries related to water resources and marine biology. Admission generally requires a Master’s degree in biology, ecology, or a related field, with strong research and fieldwork skills.
