This course offers an advanced opportunity to conduct a supervised scientific project within the field of Marine Science. Students can choose to focus on oceanography, marine biology, chemistry, or geology, aligning with the department's research areas. The project can involve experimental work or the analysis of existing scientific data. The culmination of the course includes presenting the findings in a written scientific report and an oral presentation. This project can be undertaken at the Department of Marine Sciences, another relevant academic institution, or externally with a company, institution, or authority, under the guidance of experienced researchers.
Students are responsible for finding a supervisor and contacting an examiner. They must demonstrate that they have met the required courses for the subject area. The choice of project and the start date are decided in discussion with the examiner and supervisor. Project suggestions can be found in the Project Catalogue.
