Candidates with other qualifications (e.g. Honours degree in Geography, Geology, Soil Science) will also be considered if they can show a supporting qualification at a sufficiently advanced level in a biological subject. All candidates must have taken at least one substantial course in ecology at undergraduate level. (These requirements may be modified in individual cases on consideration of a special application.) Duration: 12 months full-time (MSc); 9 months full-time (PgDip). Content: The Masters programme aims to provide training for research on the biology, ecology and sustainable management of biological resources, for students intending to carry on to do a PhD, and for those seeking careers in ecological research, conservation and management. Potential doctoral students will gain multi-disciplinary research skills and practical experience of working in active research environments alongside established scientists and will be trained to develop, execute and manage individual research projects. Students will also receive training via taught modules based on current research of contributing scientists drawn from diverse ecological disciplines. The programme is run within the School of Biological Sciences. Candidates must attend the following designated programme of courses unless they have previously passed courses deemed by the Programme Co-ordinator to be equivalent to one or more of the specified modules, in which case another course must be taken with approval from the Programme Co-ordinator. Candidates must take a minimum of 120 credits of courses from the compulsory and elective courses in stages 1 and 2. Stage 1 PL5001 Plant Ecology (15 credit points) BI5009 Experimental Design and Analysis (15 credit points) ZO5304 Population Ecology (15 credit points) EK5001 Personal Research Development (10 credit points) Electives: EV5303 Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology (15 credit points) ZO5303 Aquaculture (7.5 credit points) ZO5403 Network Science (7.5 credit points) BI5010 Statistics for Complex Designs (7.5 credit points) EK5405 Molecular Ecological Techniques (7.5 credit points) EK5406 Responding to Global Change (7.5 credit points) Stage 2: EK5903 Controlled Environment Project Microbial Ecology (22.5 credit points) EK5905 Research Project Planning (7.5 credit points) Electives: EK5803 Ecological Field Research Methods (Black Isle Field Course) (7.5 credit points) EK5506 Ecology and Society (15 credit points) EV5510 Introduction to GIS (7.5 credit points) PL5504 Biology and Ecology of Mycorrhizas (7.5 credit points) ZO5508 Marine Spatial Management and Top Predators (15 credit point) EK5702 Applied Ecological Modelling (7.5 credit points) BI5701 Readings in Ecology and Environmental Sustainability (7.5 credit points) BI5505 Introduction to Bayesian Inference (7.5 credit points) EK5804 Environmental Impact Assessment (15 credit points) Only candidates who complete the above programme at an appropriate standard will be allowed to progress to the Final Stage. Candidates who fail to achieve the standard for progression to, or who elect not to proceed to, the final stage shall be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma if they have achieved the appropriate number of credits for that award. Final Stage ZO5901 Project in Ecology (60 credit points) Assessment: By a combination of (1) written assignments and laboratory reports as prescribed for each course, and (2) a dissertation covering the research project. MSc and Diploma candidates are usually required to attend an oral examination. Only candidates who complete (1) at an appropriate standard will be allowed to progress to the final stage leading to an MSc degree. ./YZs ]^fg<Kr TUklm׫׫ד׫ס׌ htahU htahidhePhid>*OJQJ^Jh/GOJQJ^JhtahidOJQJ^Jhid>*OJQJh"cfhidOJQJhid>*OJQJ^JhidOJQJ^Jhid6OJQJ^Jhidh/GOJQJhidOJQJ&=YZ ^_gh01<K gdidgdid$ D%da$gdidr RWXlmgdtagdid # p@ Hd9gdid gdid21h:p[=.
