Marine Conservation Msc

•

Plymouth is great for studying marine courses as it's just minutes away from the first National Marine Park and has such a high concentration of marine biologists, researchers, specialist facilities, and related organisations, such as the MBA and Ocean Conservation Trust.

•

The university really utilises the local marine habitats and spaces for their courses, taking students out on their 3 boats, to local sites of interest (like rocky shores or estuaries), as well as on field trips further out.

•

Plymouth has a specialist marine station in the harbour, dedicated to marine courses, teaching, and research, with facilities like 3x specialist vessels, survey equipment, wet labs, learning spaces, scuba facilities, and more, as well as a wave tank and marine building on campus too.

For Marine Conservation MSc, >90% of graduates obtain a job in the marine conservation sector within a year of graduating, and it's the only UK MSc programme in existence to focus on marine conservation in practice, delivered in partnership with a suite of regional, national and international marine conservation practitioners.
