The offer of a place does NOT imply that funding will be offered. Duration: 12 months full-time (MSc); 9 months (PgDip) Content: The main objectives of these degree programmes are to: Provide training in research methods as a precursor to PhDs in marine biological sciences. Provide training in marine biology, statistical, mathematical, and programming skills. Facilitate understanding of the value of an integrated, multi-level and multidisciplinary approach to managing marine resources. Provide training in generic and life skills. 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 must be taken from those indicated: First Half-Session EK 5402 Molecular Genetics (7.5 credit points) ZO 5005 Field Trip (Cromarty) (0.5 credit points) ZO 5008 Marine Ecology and Ecosystem Management (7.5 credit points) ZO 5007 Fish Biology (7.5 credit points) ZO 5301 Population and Community Ecology (7.5 credit points) ZO 5400 Fish Ecology (7.5 credit points) BI 5009 Experimental Design and Analysis (15 credit points) ZO 5401 Marine Ecosystem Biology (7.5 credit points) * This course runs over both half-sessions.
