Overview
Overview
Marine environments all around the world are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, continued coastal development and resources extraction, but also provide opportunities to sustainable supply resources. With an emphasis on marine biology, oceanographic sciences, sustainable aquaculture and fisheries management this specialisation will introduce skills to help you understand, protect, and sustainably manage the marine environment.
What you'll learn
- have demonstrated narrower knowledge and understanding in a further field of study that is typically at a level that, whilst supported by advanced textbooks, includes some aspects that will be informed by knowledge of the forefront of marine science, GC1
- can apply their narrower knowledge and understanding in a manner that indicates a professional approach to the field, and have competencies typically demonstrated through devising and sustaining arguments (to both specialist and non-specialist audiences) and solving problems within marine science, including using digital technologies, GC2, GC3
- can gather and interpret relevant data within marine science to inform judgements that include reflection on relevant social, scientific, or ethical issues, including being aware of the diversity of international perspectives associated with marine science, and how these impact upon the practice of the field, GC4, GC5
- display a high standard of professional behaviour, including effective time management, both independently and as a team member, GC6
