Duration: 12 months full-time (MSc); 9 months full-time (PgDip). Content: The courses offered are drawn from a wide choice of subjects, taught in a series of six week modules, together with instruction in related topics such as computing and statistics. A number of courses are common to more specialised MSc programmes including those in Ecology, Forest Management, Environmental Remote Sensing, Environmental Microbiology and Soil Science (see separate entries). Following the instructional course MSc candidates have a three-month period devoted to an individual research project culminating in the submission of a thesis or dissertation. Candidates must attend the following designated programme of courses unless they have previously passed courses deemed by the Programme Co-ordinator to be equivalent to one or more of the specified modules, in which case another course(s) must be undertaken from those indicated below. First Half-Session (a) Either PL 5001 Plant Ecology (15 credit points) or SS 5008 Global Soil Geography (15 credit points) and (b) BI 5006/BI 5007 Experimental Design, Analysis and Presentation (15 credit points) and (c) One of the following courses:- BI 5301 Environmental Pollution (15 credit points) PL 5303 Ecosystem Processes (15 credit points) and (d) One of the following courses:- BT 5303 Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology (15 credit points) ZO 5301 Population and Community Ecology (15 credit points) Second Half-Session (e) EV 5501 Remote Sensing and GIS in the Environment (10 credit points) (f) One of the following courses:- BI 5501 Nature Conservation in Britain (15 credit points) FY 5501 Rural Development Forestry (15 credit points) SS 5500 Remediation Technology (15 credit points) and (g) One of the following courses:- PL 5503 Mycorrhizas and Ecosystem Processes (15 credit points) TB 5501 Biological Conservation in the Tropics (15 credit points) and (h) One of the following courses:- BI 5801 Plant/Animal Interactions (15 credit points) EV 5800 Environmental Analysis (15 credit points) and (i) BI 5802 Ecological & Environmental Modelling (15 credit points) Other courses are available for consideration at the discretion of the Programme Co-ordinator and the Head of School for candidates with a specific interest beyond the scope of the listed programme. Final Stage PL 5902 Project in Environmental Science (60 credit points) Advanced Project (90 credit points) SS 5901 Field course - Land Use and the Environment on Deeside (0 credit points) Assessment: By a combination of (1) written assignments and laboratory reports as prescribed for each course, (2) summative examinations covering the entire curriculum and (3) a dissertation (submitted in an agreed manuscript format) covering the research project. Both MSc and Diploma candidates are usually required to attend an oral examination. Only candidates who complete (1) and (2) at an appropriate standard will be allowed to progress to the final stage. Candidates who fail to achieve the standard for progression to, or who elect not to proceed to, the final stage, shall be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma if they have achieved the appropriate number of credits for that award. The degree of MSc shall not be awarded to a candidate who fails to achieve a CAS mark of 9 or above in PL 5902 or the Advanced Project, irrespective of their performance in other courses. c}  V _   9 > %)@DUc hjh8hgi>*OJQJ^Jh8hgi6OJQJ^Jh8hgiOJQJ^J"bc  U V  9 :  d6`gdgi 8d6gdgi Td6gdgi$ 0d6a$gdgi 0d6gdgi 0D%d6gdgi: $%LMlQ 08d6C$Eƀb&gdgi 08d6gdgi 0d6gdgi 0d6`gdgi 0Td6`gdgi 23VXu 9r 0d6gdgiP 0d6C$Eƀ\Ӥfgdgi 08d6gdgi 0d6gdgi 08d6gdgi %)i ?@IJq 9r 0d6gdgi 08d6gdgiQ 08d6C$EƀwaFgdgi 0d6gdgi 0d6`gdgi UVbc$ 0d6a$gdgiN d6C$Eƀ^Ӥfgdgi d6gdgi 0d6gdgi ,1h.
