Course summary

With the increasing variety and scale of human activities that affect marine environments it is vital that we have scientists who are able to take a multidisciplinary approach to understanding, monitoring and regulating impacts on marine ecosystems and the natural capital and services they provide.Run in collaboration with key conservation, fishery and management bodies, this MSc programme will provide you with an understanding of the issues that are central to marine ecology, resource use and conservation, and will develop practical skills and analytical ability that you can apply to real-world situations. You will learn from renowned researchers and leading practitioners, and will gain deep insight into the structure and functioning of a wide range of marine ecosystems.The programme will suit individuals looking to make a difference in the stewardship of marine natural capital, through employment in conservation, fishery or environmental organisations, environmental consultancies, government agencies, or progress to PhD research. It also provides an opportunity for professionals who are keen to refocus their knowledge and skills on applied marine ecology and conservation.
