About this course
The course aims to enable understudies to:
1) Develop their ability to research (uncover, process, interpret and evaluate) the background literature of a pre determined research topic
2) Develop their ability to discuss and evaluate scientific research
3) Develop their ability to present research via classical written scientific report presentation and seminar.
Students choosing this MSc will enjoy a modular course that will teach both the practical and theoretical aspects of wetland science in order to create an understanding of the requirements of wetland systems designed for pollution control. Participants will be highly qualified to engage in the rapidly developing wetland construction industry. Successful students will therefore develop the skills and experience required to enable progression onto PhD studies in a wide range of biological, biogeochemical, environmental and conservation based subjects.
The course will also allow students to seek employment in areas related to constructed wetlands, water and wetland management, soil science, water treatment and quality, conservation and environmental consultancy.
Academic criteria: BSc degree grade equivalent UK 2(ii) or above in a relevant biological sciences subject. Students aged 25 or older with sufficient relevant work/academic experience.
English language criteria: Students must provide documented verification of IELTS (or equivalent qualification) level 6.0 (with no element below 5.5) or greater.
