• Your research project will be in one of the areas covered by the marine science research groups:
  • Marine Resources and Renewable Energy (MRRE):
    • antifouling and ballast water treatment
    • bacterial bioactive products
    • bioenergy
    • Marine Biology, Ecosystems and Governance:
    • structural and functional integrity of ecosystems
    • biological and socio-economic drivers of ecosystem change
    • governance and management of resource use
    • Oceans and Climate focuses on the production, consumption and air-sea exchange of greenhouse gases.
  • Depending on your previous academic training and the requirements of the project, you receive formal instruction through taught modules in important areas such as laboratory safety and sea survival.
  • The research community in the School of Marine Science and Technology includes 30 research students, 10-20 MSc students, six to 10 post-doctoral scientists, six technicians and 13 full-time academic staff.
  • This provides you with abundant opportunities to progress your scientific career in any sector. Our research students have been successful at finding work across industry, academia, government agencies and non-governmental organisations.
