This course is for students interested in the marine environment who want to experience the challenge of marine science research in an area of your choosing. These courses are four-year, extended undergraduate Masters level degrees designed to produce graduates who have significant research skills. For the first three years, you will follow one of our BSc degree courses that is appropriate for your 4th year. Providing you have obtained satisfactory marks in your 2nd and 3rd year, you will proceed to the specialised 4th year. In this year, you will initially be trained in project planning and advanced research and analytical skills..You will then embark on your substantial research project in a subject of your own choice (subject to practical restrictions). As part of this you will enter an active research environment and be striving to produce publishable work in collaboration with staff members.
