The MSc in Marine Ecosystem Management is a one-year taught programme run by the School of Biology. The programme takes a holistic approach to understanding ecosystem function and services, and draws on the quantitative and diverse academic expertise within the University's Scottish Oceans Institute (SOI).
Highlights
- Modules include intense training in quantitative techniques (for example, statistical modelling and GIS).
- Students have the exciting opportunity to conduct fieldwork and practical boat-based training, locally as part of a core module (included in course fee), and further afield as part of optional field courses (extra cost applicable) in Antarctica (polar ecology) or Indonesia (scientific diving).
- Core modules in marine ecosystem function and management are complemented by a selection from optional modules including biologging, population biology, fisheries research, and estimating abundance.
- Stimulating, small class sizes with a focus on student-led, experiential learning.
