Is designed to provide the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in research oriented towards marine science, beyond that experienced in an undergraduate degree course. Students are assessed in the following and are required: (a) to carry out an intensive research project on an approved topic under a supervisor(s) approved by the Faculty, and to submit the findings in a thesis. Three copies of the research thesis (typed on A4 paper and bound) shall be submitted about nine and a half months (19 months if part-time) from the date of commencing study. The normal starting date is in February; but alternative starting dates, such as mid-year, will be considered; (b) to undertake a literature review in a prescribed topic of marine science; (c) to present a seminar which describes the aims and result of the student's research work; and (d) to write a research proposal within the framework of currently accepted guidelines for research application. At the discretion of the Head of School, students may also undertake additional coursework. The School will provide specific details on assessment procedure and criteria used.
