Dr Ken Collins, from the college's National Oceanography Center, says 10 types of shark right now found in hotter parts of the world could occupy our oceans by 2050 as a result of environmental change.
Here, we profile a portion of the animal categories that could turn into a natural apparatus in coming decades.
Awesome hammerhead
The colossal hammerhead is the greatest of the sharks which could turn up in UK waters in future. The zenith predator, which is found in tropical and warm mild waters around the world, can achieve lengths of 6.1m (20ft).
The trademark pounds on the shark's head most likely have a few capacities. They are utilized to get the electrical marks of their favored prey - stingrays - on the ocean bottom, yet may likewise be utilized to thump and paralyze littler fish.
The shark is intensely looks for its extensive blades, which are esteemed in parts of Asia as the chief fixing in shark balance soup. It's to a great degree uncommon for this hammerhead to chomp people.
Blacktip shark
The blacktip shark is basic in beach front tropical and subtropical waters. In any case, it's one more of the animal groups that could turn into a lasting installation around our shores in future.
Dr Collins stated: "It's feasible we will see more sharks spread from hotter locales, for example, the Mediterranean Ocean towards our waters in the UK throughout the following 30 years.
"These incorporate any semblance of blacktips, sand tigers and hammerheads, which are right now discovered swimming off the shores of Spain and Portugal."
It's not the biggest shark on the rundown of 10 - they as a rule develop to around 1.5m (4.9ft) long. Be that as it may, it's known to remove turning jumps from the water. These hops occur toward the finish of bolstering runs, as the shark corkscrews through schools of fish.
Blacktips are an individual from the gathering known as memorial sharks. This gathering all in all are thought to include a considerable lot of the recorded examples of sharks gnawing people. Be that as it may, underscore that it's to a great degree uncommon for any shark species to assault a man.
Bronze whaler (copper) shark
The bronze whaler, or copper shark is additionally found at mild scopes and achieves a greatest length of 3.3m (11ft).
It has a thin, streamlined body and has a generally expansive eating regimen, bolstering on squid and octopus; hard fish such hake, fish and sardines; and cartilaginous fish, for example, dogfish, stingrays and skates. Be that as it may, they themselves fall prey to bigger sharks and executioner whales.
Maritime whitetip
The maritime whitetip is a single and moderate moving fish that has a tendency to be found close to the highest point of the water section. Be that as it may, it's diligent when looked with a potential nourishment source, and takes part in "bolstering furors" with other maritime whitetips.
In these furors, a few predators unite on one sustenance source, for example, an extensive school of fish, and go wild - gnawing anything that moves.
These sharks don't have a tendency to be discovered near shore.
Sand tiger
This creature is a far off cousin of the impressive awesome white shark, however it's not so enormous. It has a hefty body that ranges around 3.2m (10.5ft) long.
They're to be discovered wandering the mainland rack to profundities o f very nearly 200m and are relatively tolerant of bondage. In that capacity, they're the most widely recognized shark to be seen in aquariums.
They're striking for taking part in a captivating, however terrible, movement known as "intrauterine savagery", in which the more created incipient organisms eat their weaker kin amid pregnancy.
Alternate species that could show up in UK waters by 2050 incorporate bigeye thresher, longfin mako, luxurious shark, shadowy shark and the troll shark.
Obviously, there are now species that occupy UK waters. An expected 10 million little and 100,000 bigger sharks from 40 unique species are found in our oceans.
The exploration likewise named the oceans off Cornwall as the UK's ebb and flow "shark capital", with no less than 20 species found there. The region is trailed by Devon and the Scilly Isles.
Dr Collins remarked: "However while the potential number of shark species around the UK may increment in the following couple of decades, the general number of sharks, particularly the bigger ones, will fall because of over-angling, plastic waste and environmental change.
"It's extremely vital we cooperate to keep an untimely annihilation of these great animals."
