Duration: 12 months full-time (MSc); 9 months full-time (PgDip). Content: The courses are drawn from across the School of Biological Sciences and are taught in a series of three or six week modules, together with instructions in related common skills. A number of courses that are core to other programmes can be selected for this programme. Following the instructional stage of the programme of courses, students may proceed to the individual research project which may either be standard (60 credit points) or advanced (90 credit points). This will culminate in the submission of a thesis in the format of a peer reviewed paper. Candidates must also pass general examinations before being permitted to proceed to the thesis stage. 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. First Half-Session All candidates must take the following courses: BI 5008 Research and Personal Skills Development (5 credit points) BI 5202 Experimental Design and Data Analysis (5 credit points) ED 50EP Careers and Employability for Postgraduates (5 credit points) In addition to the above courses, candidates must take courses to the value of 45 credit points from those listed below, in the context of timetable constraints: EV 5302 Environmental Pollution (Atmospheric and Aquatic) (7.5 credit points) EV 5400 Environmental Biotechnology (7.5 credit points) EV 5401 Environmental Pollution (Terrestrial) (7.5 credit points) PL 5303 Ecosystem Processes (15 credit points) SS 5008 Global Soil Geography (15 credit points) Or as approved by the Programme Co-ordinator. Second Half-Session All candidates must take the following courses: EV 5502 Spatial Information Technology (7.5 credit points) EV 5903 Literature Review in Environmental Sciences (3 credit points) SS 5904 Land Use and the Environment on Deeside (Ballater Field Trip) (3 credit points) In addition to the above courses, candidates must take courses to the value of 46.5 credit points from the following list, in the context of timetable constraints: BI 5501 Nature Conservation in Britain (15 credit points) BI 5503 Environmental Economics (7.5 credit points) BI 5802 Ecological and Environmental Modelling (15 credit points) EK 5801 Climate Change (10 credit points) EV 5500 Environmental Analysis (15 credit points) EV 5504 Remediation Technology (Risk Assessment) (7.5 credit points) EV 5700 Remediation Technology (Contamination Remediation) (7.5 credit points) EV 5800 Environmental Analysis (15 credit points) EV 5900 Practical Applications in Environmental Science (7.5 credit points) PL 5700 Biology and Ecology of Mycorrhizas (7.5 credit points) TB 5502 Biological Conservation in the Tropics (7.5 credit points) Or as approved by the Programme Co-ordinator. Only candidates who complete the above programme at an appropriate standard will be allowed to progress to the project 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. Final Stage (MSc only) SS 5903 Project in Soil Science (60 credit points) SS 58AP Advanced Project in Soil Science (90 credit points) Assessment: By a combination of (1) written assignments and laboratory reports for each taught 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. The degree of MSc shall not be awarded to a candidate who fails to achieve a CAS mark of 9 or above in SS 5903 or the Advanced Project, irrespective of their performance in other courses.
