Taught Masters Degrees

The Department currently offers the following one-year MSc programme which consists of 120 credits of taught modules followed by a 60 credit research project/dissertation:

• MSc Environmental Biology: Conservation and Resource Management

Master of Research Degrees

The following one year Masters of Research (MRes) degrees offer an excellent platform for students who wish to pursue a PhD at a later stage.  Both can be pursued on a full-time or part-time basis.  These degrees consist of 60 credits of taught modules followed by a 120 credit research project/dissertation.

• MRes Aquatic Ecology and Conservation
• MRes Sustainable Aquaculture and Fisheries 

MSc by Research Degrees

The Department is offering a range of new postgraduate research degrees.  The MSc by Research enables students to pursue a one year individual programme of research.  This degree could, however, be used in a progression to Year 2 of a PhD degree.  Being nominally a one year degree, this is distinct from an MPhil which is a two year degree.  Current MSc by Research degrees include:

• MSc by Research in Aquatic Biology
• MSc by Research in Biomathematics
• MSc by Research in Environmental Conservation
• MSc by Research in Environmental Sustainability
• MSc by Research in Mathematical Ecology
• MSc by Research in Animal Movement Science
• MSc by Research in Sustainable Resources
