can I teach biology with a degree in marine biology?

[carrelrl]

HI,
I want to teach biology at secondary level.
I would like to get a degree like wildlife bio or environment bio or marine bio, can i teach with any of them?
I want to start in the UK then hopefully teach in the US for a few years.
Thanks

I don't see why not, but check requirements of position to be on safe side.

You could probably teach it to dolphins, they're very smart apparently.

If you had one of the degrees you mentioned, plus a teaching qualification (which may take an extra year), you should be qualified to teach biology in secondary school. Wildlife/environment/marine bio would have to cover all the biology fundamentals that are taught at secondary level.

Don't know about the UK, but in the US to teach you need a teaching credential.
