Candidates with Honours Degrees in other subject areas (e.g., Oceanography, Mathematics, Geography, Economics) will be considered if they can show supporting qualifications or aptitude at a sufficiently advanced level in a biological subject. Relevant experience may also be taken into account. Duration: 12 months full-time (MRes); 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 with approval from the Programme Co-ordinator. Candidates must take a minimum of 120 credits of courses from the compulsory and elective courses in stages 1 and 2. Stage 1 ZO5008 Marine Ecology and Ecosystem Management (7.5 credit points) ZO5007 Fish Biology (7.5 credit points) ZO5304 Population Ecology (15 credit points) BI5009 Experimental Design and Analysis (15 credit points) EK5507* Personal Research Development (0 credit points) ZO5402 Fisheries Technologies and Surveys (7.5 credit points) Electives: ZO5005 Field Trip (Cromarty) (0.5 credit points) ZO5303 Aquaculture (7.5 credit points) BI5010 Statistics for Complex Designs (7.5 credit points) EK5403 Molecular Ecological Techniques (7.5 credit points) ZO5403 Network Science (7.5 credit points) EV5510 Introduction to GIS (7.5 credit points) *This course runs over both half-sessions.

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 ZO5902 Research Project/Dissertation (60 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 MRes and Diploma candidates are usually required 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 the MRes project. $ / : h r @BCpwd>EZ|hb?h@wOJQJ^Jh#h@wOJQJ^Jh;L!OJQJ^JhYh@w5OJQJ^JhYh@wOJQJ^Jh@wOJQJ^Jh@w>*OJQJh"cfh@wOJQJhseh@wOJQJh@w6OJQJh@wOJQJhZqh@wOJQJ02E/ 0 g h  [ K gd@w & Fgd@w$a$gd@wgd@w D%gd@w  D%dgd@w@gCDopxy WXdO= gd@wgd@w=>FG[\gd@w gd@wZ[\ h@whhJ>h@w21h:p[=.
