Duration: 12 months full-time (MRes); 9 months full-time (PgDip); 4 full time (PgCert). 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. Students will undertake a 30 and a 60 credit project. During the instructional stage of the programme of courses, students will undertake the 30 credit project. This is expected to complement the taught material and be tailored towards personal interest. Following the instructional stage of the programme of courses, students may proceed to the individual research project (60 credits) if they have successfully passed all course assessments and project requirements. Both projects will culminate in the submission off a thesis in the format of a peer reviewed paper. 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. Stage 1 All candidates must take the following courses: EV 5005 Research Skills for Environmental Sciences (15 credit points) EV 5303 Environmental Microbiology & Biotechnology (15 credit points) SS 5008 Global Soil Geography (15 credit points) In addition to the above courses, candidates must take courses to the value of 15 credit points from those listed below, in the context of timetable constraints: BI 5301 Environmental Pollution (15 credit points) PL 5303 Ecosystem Process (15 credit points) Or as approved by the Programme Co-ordinator. Stage 2 All candidates must take the following courses: 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) SS 5507 Soil Science Research and Investigation (30 credit points) In addition to the above courses, candidates must take courses equating to 30 credits from the following list, in the context of timetable constraints: EV 5510 Introduction to GIS (7.5 credit points) EK 5404 Climate Change (7.5 credit points) BI 5802 Ecological and Environmental Modelling (15 credit points) EV 5800 Environmental Analysis (15 credit points) EV 5505 Critical Reviews in Environmental Sciences (7.5 credit points) PL 5700 Biology and Ecology of Mycorrhizas (7.5 credit points) SS 5500 Remediation Technology (15 credit points) BI 5504 Foundations of Environmental Governance (7.5 credit points) BI 5901 Research Project Planning (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. Stage 3 (MSc only) SS 5903 Project in Soil Science (60 credit points) Assessment: By a combination of (1) written assignments and laboratory reports for taught each course, and (2) a dissertation (submitted in agreed manuscript format) covering both research projects. MRes candidates are usually requirted to attend an oral examination. The degree of MRes shall not be awarded to a candidate who fails to achieve a CAS mark of 9 or above in SS 55077 or SS 5903, irrespective of their performance in other courses.  8>EGPQYZm2 < &79x,-oٶ٩ى~~ىى~oىhgh4&}OJQJmH sH h<h4&}OJQJh0h4&}OJQJ)h4&}h4&}56>*CJOJQJ^JaJhh4&}OJQJaJhh4&}OJQJmH sH h4mh4&}OJQJh4&}>*OJQJh4&}OJQJh4&}6OJQJh4&}5OJQJh"h4&}5OJQJ+Hlm1 2 +,r 0d6gd4&} d6gd4&}$ 0d6a$gd4&} 0d6gd4&}$a$gd4&}gd4&}&VW89-o 0d6gd4&} 0d6gd4&} 8gd4&} $ 8a$gd4&} gd4&} 0d6gd4&} d6gd4&}'/EFGHYcjij hEuWh2h4&}6OJQJh4&}>*OJQJh0h4&}OJQJh4&}OJQJ'YbcvijgdEuW$ 0d6a$gd4&} 0d6gd4&} d6gd4&}21h:p[=.
