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 Masters programme aims to provide training for students intending to carry on to do a PhD and for those seeking careers in marine ecological research, conservation and management of marine resources. This programme facilitates the understanding of the value of an integrated, multi-level and multidisciplinary approach to managing marine resources and also provides training in statistical analysis, programming skills and spatial data analysis using GIS. Students will gain multi-disciplinary research skills and practical experience from working in active research environments alongside established scientist drawn mainly from the School of Biological Sciences. However, a strong component of the programme involves direct interactions with staff from Marine Scotland-Science, as well as Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) and Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), along with professionals from NGOs and the private sectors representing consulting firms and fishing interests. Masters students will be trained to develop, execute and manage individual research projects as well as receiving training in generic life and employability 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.

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 ZO 5902 Research Project/Dissertation (60 credit points) Assessment: By a combination of (1) written assignments,reports and presentations as prescribed for each course, (2) 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. $t   M W z{\g:;wyz{|}~NOútth2hHJOJQJhh595OJQJ^JhYh595OJQJ^JhHJOJQJhYh59OJQJ^Jh59OJQJ^Jh59>*OJQJh"cfh59OJQJhhXh59OJQJhseh59OJQJh596OJQJh59OJQJhZqh59OJQJ+2Fst  L M {| \; gd59$a$gd59gd59 D%gd59  D%dgd59;wOOG01 gd59gd59 gdHJNOG/ghỰ h@whhJ>h596OJQJh59>*OJQJh2hHJOJQJhHJOJQJh=h59OJQJh9~OJQJh2h59OJQJh59OJQJh59OJQJ^Jhb?h59OJQJ^Jhgd@w21h:p[=.
