Course programme

Year 1, 2 & 3 During the first 3 years you will follow the modules on Marine Biology and Oceanography BSc (Hons). In Year 4 you will specialise with a major research project. Year 4 At the beginning of year 4 you will undertake an intensive Advanced Research Skills module to equip you with the skills and understanding to design and carry out your chosen research project. A choice of advanced biovaribaility and statistical analysis or mathematics and MATLAB training is available depending on the nature of your research. An extensive literature review (20 credits) will be completed during the early part of year 4 and a 20 credit module on Perspectives in Marine Science based on departmental seminars will run throughout the year. The main focus of the year is the 60 credit project module. You will have the opportunity to carry out a research project in a subject of your own choice (subject to practical restrictions). The aim of the project is to allow you to enter a research environment and become involved with the research of a member of staff or research group within the School. The results of the work will be written in the style of a research paper in a scientific journal. You will be given the opportunity to choose from a wide range of research topics. The full range of research areas in the School can be found on the School of Ocean Sciences’ web pages. Each student will give a research seminar (6 credits) and design and produce a research poster (6 credits) to be presented to peers and academic staff.
