Description

MSc Courses at the School of Biological and Marine Sciences

Why study at the University of Plymouth?

At the heart of our teaching philosophy is the desire to give you programmes that are driven by research-informed teaching and are at the leading edge in their fields. We want you to be hands-on with as much of our equipment as possible, to develop skills as well as knowledge. If you aren’t in the lecture theatre or the lab, you may well be in the field – we are lucky to have a location that supports our field-based programmes. If you are not on a field-based programme, you will still find the sea, the moors and the city to be very beneficial for social and leisure activities.

Facilities

The University of Plymouth is underpinned by access to a fully-equipped fleet of boats, the latest instrumentation, specialist software and, from 2014-15, a new £4.65 million Marine Station that will provide a base for fieldwork.

Pride of place in our fleet goes to RV Falcon Spirit, a 15 metre catamaran which is used, along with smaller boats, for group practicals and individual project work spanning collection of seabed and water samples and acquisition of hydrographic survey and oceanographic datasets.

Our instrumentation includes the latest oceanographic and hydrographic survey sensors (including an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, Multi-Beam Echo-Sounder, and towed undulating Conductivity-Temperature-depth system), an automatic weather station and specialist software for data analysis and visualisation.

Employability

The University boasts strong links with numerous employers which have lead to some of our students getting placements and graduate employment. Some of these links include: Paignton Zoo, Wild Planet Trust, National Marine Aquarium, Marine Biological Association, Fugro and many more.
