Comments about MSc in Marine Resource Management - At the institution - Southampton - Hampshire

• Objectives
  This 12 month taught postgraduate programme is one degree within the Environmental Management Programme (EMP) run jointly with the School of Civil Engineering and the Environment. The umbrella (EMP) programme delivers a portfolio of postgraduate degrees within the Environmental Sciences and is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Graduate students from a variety of science and engineering backgrounds are introduced to basic concepts in marine science which are then augmented by an understanding and application of resource management issues. Students can choose to specialise in particular pathways through the programme including environmental and resource-based approaches to the subject.
• Entry requirements
  Entry requirement is a BSc (Hons) degree (2.1) or its equivalent from European and non-European universities in an appropriate discipline (chemistry, biology, physics, Earth and environmental sciences, engineering, oceanography or mathematics). A solid background in mathematics at the undergraduate level and familiarity with computers will also be required.
