Marine Ecosystem Management (MSc)

University of St Andrews

The programme takes a holistic approach to understanding ecosystem function and services, and draws on the quantitative and diverse academic expertise within the University's Scottish Oceans Institute (SOI). Modules include intense training in quantitative techniques (for example, statistical modelling and GIS). You might have the exciting opportunity to conduct fieldwork locally as part of a core module and further afield as part of optional field courses (extra cost applicable) on our Antarctica Polar Ecology module or on the Scientific Diving module. Core modules in marine ecosystem function, management and conservation are complemented by a selection from optional modules including biologging, population biology, fisheries research, and estimating abundance. Stimulating, small class sizes with a focus on student-led, experiential learning.
