Revamped MSc to be taken full time, part time, or as a PG Certificate. All aquatic environments covered. Multiple field courses for practical hands on training and opportunities for workshops and projects with potential employers.

1. MSc Freshwater and Marine
Ecology
Gain an in-depth understanding of aquatic ecosystems and the
opportunity to learn techniques for their study and management
in a practical setting, both here in the UK and overseas.
Threats to the ecosystem goods and services that aquatic resources
provide (e.g. clean drinking water, sustainable fisheries) frequently
appear in the media and on the agendas of governments.
To maintain these goods and services requires a fundamental
understanding of the biodiversity and ecosystem processes
responsible, for without knowledge there can be no application or
effective management.
With aquatic ecosystems under threat from multiple stressors, we
have designed a programme to equip you with the necessary
interdisciplinary practical skills and theoretical understanding for
direct employment or further research
Why study with us?
• The programme balances the latest in ecological theory with
practical application in both freshwater and marine systems
• Residential field-courses (Borneo, Western Isles of Scotland,
Dorset, Cumbria) for practical, ‘hands-on’ training in the field
• Taught by expert university staff with world class research profiles
and guest lecturers from external organisations
• Excellent research supervision undertaken either alongside
established PhD students or with potential employers
• Access to ‘state of the art’ analytical, mesocosm & temperature
controlled facilities within The Centre for the Aquatic and Terrestrial
Environment, developed from an initial investment by SRIF of £3M
• Can be taken full-time, part-time or components as PG-Certificate
